Precise synthesis of substituted polyacetylenes
S ubstituted polyacetylenes have received considerable attention, owing to their properties resulting from the π-conjugated
backbone such as photoconductivity and electroluminescence. The introduction of functional groups at the side chains
provides polyacetylenes with useful structural features including liquid crystallinity, molecular recognition, stimuli-
responsiveness and gas permeability. Substituted polyacetylenes are synthesized by the polymerization of the corresponding
acetylene monomers using transition-metal catalysts. Rh catalysts bearing a triphenylvinyl group polymerize substituted
acetylene monomers in a living fashion to give polymers with controlled molecular weights, geometry and end structures.
Pd catalysts bearing bulky phosphine ligands polymerize disubstituted acetylene monomers via the coordination-insertion
mechanism. Substituted polyacetylenes bearing chiral substituents adopt helical conformations, whose predominant screw
sense transforms between right and left-handed in CHCl3/MeOH with respect to the solvent composition. The polymers prefer
conformations with large dipole moments in polar media, confirmed by the semi empirical molecular orbital calculations,
COSMO method.
