I. Kminek et al., POLY(METHYL-PHENYLSILYLENE) DERIVATIVES AS PHOTOCONDUCTORS, Collection of Czechoslovak Chemical Communications, 58(10), 1993, pp. 2337-2348
The attachment of long wavelength absorbing pi-conjugated chromophores
to poly(methyl-phenylsilylene) (PMPSi) via reactions of its formylate
d derivative is described. Some of the obtained polymers exhibit impro
ved photostability in comparison with the parent polymer. Their spectr
al properties and photoconductivity are discussed. Ultrathin layers an
d multilayers were prepared from polar derivatives of PMPSi by the Lan
gmuir-Blodgett technique and their photoconductive behaviour was studi
ed.
