Abstract

A polymer reaction route for molecular functionalization of distributed polyacetylenes containing reactive diarylethylene and polar pryridyl and amido units was investigated. The synthetic route was prepared by directly polymerizing its monomers and then subjecting the polymer intermediate to the reactions with desired functional groups. The reaction products were characterized by spectroscopic analysis, with all the polymers providing data corresponding to their expected molecular structure. It was found that the acetylenic triple bonds embedded in the scaffolds of the polymers enable them to be thermally cured, photonically cross-linked, and coordinatively metallized.
