Two new functional polyacetylenes bearing different azobenzene group, -{ HC=C[azo-N (CH3)CH2CH2OH] } n-, [poly(EHAB); azo = 4,4'-azobenzene] and - { HC=C[azo-N(CH3)CH2CH2O COC3H7]},-, [poly(EEAB)]} were prepa...Two new functional polyacetylenes bearing different azobenzene group, -{ HC=C[azo-N (CH3)CH2CH2OH] } n-, [poly(EHAB); azo = 4,4'-azobenzene] and - { HC=C[azo-N(CH3)CH2CH2O COC3H7]},-, [poly(EEAB)]} were prepared by [Rh(nbd)Cl]2-Et3N catalysts. Poly(EHAB) has poor solubility while poly(EEAB) can be dissolved in common solvent. The polymers were characterized by FHR, ^1H NMR, UV and GPC. The nonlinear optical property of the soluble poly(EEAB) was investigated with 8 ns width pulse at 532 nm by Z-scan technique. The results show that poly(EEAB) is endowed with the larger third-order nonlinear optical property.展开更多

Two acetylene polymers containing cyanobiphenyl-based mesogens, poly{10-[((4'-cyano-4-biphenylyl)oxy)carbonyl]-1-decyne} (PA8CN), which has a relatively flexible polyalkyne backbone, and poly {[4-(((12-((4'-cy...Two acetylene polymers containing cyanobiphenyl-based mesogens, poly{10-[((4'-cyano-4-biphenylyl)oxy)carbonyl]-1-decyne} (PA8CN), which has a relatively flexible polyalkyne backbone, and poly {[4-(((12-((4'-cyano-4-biphenylyl)oxy)dodecyl)oxy) carbonyl) phenyl]-acetylene} (PB12CN), which has a fairly rigid poly(phenylacetylene) backbone, were synthesized using respectively WCl6 and [Rh(nbd)Cl](2) as the catalysts. PA8CN exhibits enantiotropic interdigitated smectic A phase (S-Ad) over a temperature range as wide as ca. 100 degrees C, whereas PB12CN is non-mesomorphic, demonstrating that the backbone rigidity plays an important role in determining the liquid crystallinity of the polyacetylenes.展开更多

Some features for polymerization of 2-propynyl 2-furoate are described and discussed. The resulting polymer was characterized by IR, GPC and 1H-NMR analysis.展开更多
While WCl_6-Ph_4Sn fails to polymerize 1-phenyl-1-propyne (PP) at room temperature, highmolecular weight (M_w up to 410× 10~3) polymers are obtained in high yields (up to 80%) when thepolymerizations of PP are ca...While WCl_6-Ph_4Sn fails to polymerize 1-phenyl-1-propyne (PP) at room temperature, highmolecular weight (M_w up to 410× 10~3) polymers are obtained in high yields (up to 80%) when thepolymerizations of PP are carried out in the presence of C_(60) using the W catalyst under the same conditions.The polymers are soluble in common organic solvents such as THF, chloroform, and toluene. Molecularstructures of the polymers are characterized by FT-IR, UV, NMR, GPC and XRD, and it is found that C_(60) iscopolymerized with PP. Thus C_(60) plays the dual roles of comonomer and cocatalyst in the polymerizationreaction. C_(60) contents of the copolymers can be easily changed by varying the C_(60) amounts in the feedmixtures. The copolymers effectively limit strong 532 nm laser pulses, whose limiting performance issuperior to that of parent C_(60).展开更多
