Here, we demonstrate the successful nucleophilic substitution polymerization of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds, including acetylacetone, 3,5-heptanedione, methyl acetoacetate, cyclopentane-1,3-dione, 1,3-indandione, 1-phenyl-1,3-butanedione and dibenzoylmethane, where reactive hydrogens at α position of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds are involved. Through this base catalyzed nucleophilic substitution polycondensation between 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds and α,α’-dibromo xylene, a series of nonconjugated poly(1,3-dicarbonyl)s have been successfully prepared with high yield (up to >99%) under mild conditions. Investigations reveal that this nucleophilic substitution polycondensation exhibits self-accelerating effect and flexible stoichiometry characteristics, which exhibits advantages over traditional polycondensation methods. This polymerization also exhibits intriguing polymerization-induced emission (PIE) characteristics, where nonconjugated poly(1,3-dicarbonyl)s exhibit intriguing chemical structure dependent aggregation-induced emission (AIE) type NTIL. This work therefore expands the monomer, method, chemical structure and property libraries of polymer chemistry, which may cause inspirations to polymerization methodology, PIE, AIE and NTIL.展开更多
