Structural moieties such as ’ 0 -z-NH2, -CH2-, -CH3, C-N, C=N, and -OH in organic compounds give the best comparative infrared spectral features to those observed for the synthesized polymer. Spectra of polyacrylamides, polyacryloni- triles and proteins (5) of some types, give quite similar spectra. Carbon-nitrogen double or single bonds may exist in the synthesized pyymer, but there is no evidence for the strong -CEN frequency at ca. 2240 - 2260 cm- (5). Nicholls and Krishna- machari (6 ) found in microwave eTFctrodeless discharees at 2450 MHz emission u bands of NCO formed at cryogenic temperatures from the reaction I N(2P) tC0 (X Ct)+NCO at the cold surface. Thus an NCO species may enter into the polymer as an important structural entity in the present case. Conclusions Under the flow discharge conditions of this study, the RF electrodeless method appears to offer interesting synthetic possibilities with the simple inorganic gases. One might better understand the mechanism of origin of some polymers as a function of simple excited molecular, atomic or free radical precursors, generated in the discharge. The composition of the gas phase products formed in various reactions would be worth monitoring. Some of the gas products in the present study are being analyzed. t < / 4
