Gj. Sarnecki et al., THE SYNTHESIS OF A NEW REGIOREGULAR CONJUGATED POLYMER - POLY(2-BROMO-5-DODECYLOXY-1,4-PHENYLENEVINYLENE), Synthetic metals, 69(1-3), 1995, pp. 545-546
The synthesis of a new conjugated poly(arylenevinylene) that appears t
o be regioregular as shown by NMR is described. The bromo-substituted
precursor polymer is apparently more stable as a result of the regular
conjugated structure. It can readily be converted into the conjugated
polymer by dehydrohalogenation.
