wherein, independently for each occurrence:
Q represents —O or —N(R3);
r represents 0 or 1, and s represents 3 or 2, such that r+s=3;
R1 represents a polymeric chain;
R2 represents —H, alkyl, cycloalkyl, —O-alkyl, —O-cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, —O-cycloalkenyl, aryl, —O-aryl, heterocycle, —O-heterocycle, polycycle, —O-polycycle, or —N(R4)R5;
R3 represents —H, alkyl, aryl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, heterocycle, or polycycle;
R4 and R5, each independently, represent a hydrogen, an alkyl, an alkenyl, —(CH2)m—R6, or R4 and R5, taken together with the N atom to which they are attached complete a heterocycle having from 4 to about 8 atoms in the ring structure;
m represents an integer from 0-10; and
R6 represents —H, alkyl, cycloakyl, —O-alkyl, —O-cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, —O-cycloalkenyl, aryl, —O-aryl, heterocycle, —O-heterocycle, polycycle or —O-polycycle.
