Monomer compound comprising several cationic groups, process for making the same, and polymers comprising units deriving therefrom

Abstract

Monomer compounds comprising several cationic groups, a process for making such compounds and polymers derived from such compounds are provided. The monomer compounds are according to formula (I):wherein Ris a hydrogen atom, a methyl group or an ethyl group, A, which is identical or different, is a group comprising an ester group of formula —A—C(O)—O—A—, or an amide group of formula —A—C(O)—NR—A—, wherein: R, which is identical or different, is hydrogen or an alkyl, hydroxyalkyl, or aminoalkyl C–Clinear or branched group, A, which is identical or different is a covalent bond or a group of formula —(CH)— wherein p1 is an integer of from 1 to 6, A, which is identical or different, is a linear or branched hydrocarbon group comprising optionally N, O, or S heteroatoms or heterogroups, optionally substituted, optionally forming or comprising a cycle, R, R, R, R, Rand R, which are identical or different, are hydrogen, alkyl, hydroxyalkyl, or aminoalkyl C–Clinear or branched groups, or, if inside the brackets, form a heterocycle with group A, m is an integer of from 1 to 10, n is an integer of from 1 to 6, Z is —O', —C(O)O—, or —C(O)NH—, B is a linear or branched C–Cpolymethylene chain, optionally comprising heteroatoms or heterogroups and optionally substituted with one or several hydroxy or amino groups, and X, which are identical or different, are counter ions.
