In the discussion of poly(ether ether ketone), or PEEK,in Section 26.6a.2, we observed that the addition ofa tert-butyl group to the aromatic ring increases thesolubility of a PEEK in organic solvents. However,when researchers added a second tert-butyl group,as shown here, they found that the solubility of thePEEK decreased. Explain this observation.A PEEK with two tert-butyl groups per repeating unit

The addition of the one tert-butyl group to the PEEK decreases the intermolecular interaction…
