Abstract:  In the present paper the model interaction of poly(2,6-dimethylphenylene oxide) with various solvents (chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, benzene, toluene, xylenes) is studied. As a model the interaction of 2,6-dimethyl hydroquinone (which reproduces the electron density distribution in poly(2,6-dimethylphenylene oxide) very well) with molecules of individual solvents was used. The semiempirical CNDO/2 method with the limited configuration interaction has been applied for all calculations. Theoretically obtained results were correlated with experimental data.
