Synthesis and Properties of Soluble Oligo- and Polyphenylenes. A Review

摘要

An overview of the synthetic routes and material properties of soluble oligo- andpolyphenylenes is presented with comparisons of the soluble materials to the insoluble poly(phenylene) (PPP). Covered are main chain phenylene oligomers and polymers; not copolymers that contain non-phenylene units. The specific classes of compounds discussed are poly(Ophenylenes), poly(m-phenylenes), and substituted polyphenylenes consisting of alkyl-, aryl-, carbonyl-, alkoxy-, nitro-, halo-, fused aromatic-, and ladder-containing moieties.
