The preparation of a series of thermally stable poly(ether ether sulfone) derivatives from functionalized 1,1‐diphenylethylene derivatives, with the random introduction of the 1,1‐diphenylethylene unit along the polymer backbone, is reported. The post‐polymerization thiol‐ene addition reaction of the 1,1‐diphenylethylene unit of the poly(ether ether sulfone) precursor with sodium 3‐mercapto‐1‐propane sulfonate affords a new, well‐defined sulfonated poly(ether ether sulfone) derivative, with the alkyl sulfonate group introduced pendant to the polymer backbone.
