Abstract
Various chromophores useful for second-order nonlinear optics (NLO) ha ve been attached to a preformed polystyrene backbone via palladium-cat alyzed carbonylation reactions. In favorable circumstances the graftin g reaction was nearly quantitative, leading to a high concentration of NLO-active chromophores in the resulting polymers. The polymers obtai ned in this way were amorphous, exhibited good solubility, and possess ed high glass transition temperatures.
