Outline of Final Research Achievements

By utilizing the fact that the vicinal tri-and tetracarbonyl compound undergo reversible addition over elimination reaction with water and alcohols, networked polymers of series of hydroxy group-containing polymer are constructed by the use of tri-and tetra carbonyl compound as cross-linking agent. Furthermore, the de-crosslinking of obtained networked polymer proceeds with the addition of water, and the original polymer are recovered in high yield.
