               Y is -O-, -S- or -NR'-;                                                
               L is a branched or straight chain aliphatic group, a cyclic            
                    aliphatic group, a divalent aryl group, or a polymeric            
                    group;                                                            
               R is H, alkyl, alkoxy, aryl, aryloxy, heterocyclic or                  
                    heterocycloxy;                                                    
               the molar ratio of x:y is about 1;                                     
               the molar ratio n:(x or y) is between about 100:1 and 1:100;           
                    and
