Abstract
The optimum conditions for the storage of formaldazine, which had been considered difficult, were successfully investigated. Formaldazine can be stored for a long time above room temperature as a solution in completely dried tetrahydrofuran (THF) or triethylamine. The polymerizability of formaldazine was also studied by various catalysts. This monomer could not be polymerized by radical initiators; it could be polymerized anionically and cationically, which was consistent with the prediction of polymerizability from its spectrometric data (Part I). The polymer was found to be composed of 1,4 addition and 1,2 addition, like butadiene.
