The precursor PA (P2) was derived by desilylation of the pristine PA with trimethylethynylsilane side chains (P1). P1 was obtained by polymerization of a dual-alkyne containing monomer with one of the alkynes end-capping by trimethylsilane (M) under the promotion of WC16-Ph4Sn catalyst. Two synthetic routes, i.e. two-steps (from P1 to P3 via precursor P2) and one-pot (from P1 to P3 without separation and purification of P2) were tried and the results indicated that one-pot strategy is more facile and resultant P3-1 showed higher purity and higher molecular weight than the resultant of P3-2. By using the techniques such as GPC, FTIR and 1H NMR spectroscopy the polymerization behavior and the structures of the polymers were well characterized.展开更多
