SYNTHESIS OF POLYBINAPHTHYLS INCORPORATING CHIRAL(R)-1,1'-BI-2,2'-NAPHTHOL ENTITIES WITH p-DIVINYLBENZENE BY Pd-CATALYZED HECK REACTION

摘要

Polymer and polymer were obtained by the polymerization of (R)-6,6’-dibromo-2,2’-binaphtho-20-crown-6 (M-1) and (R)-6,6’-dibromo-2,2’-di(methoxyethoxymethyloxy)-1,1’-binaphthyl (M-2) with p-divinylbenzene under Pd- catalyzed Heck reaction. The UV, fluorescence and CD spectra of polymer are similar due to the same linkers present in their polymer chain. Polymers can emit strong blue fluorescence and are expected to have potential applications in polarized blue-light emitting sensors. The chiral conjugated polymers exhibit a strong Cotton effect in their circular dichroism (CD) spectra, indicating a high rigidity of polymer backbone.
