E. Thorncsanyi et al., SYNTHESIS OF SOLUBLE ALL-TRANS OLIGOMERS OF 2,5-DIHEPTYLOXY-P-PHENYLENEVINYLENE VIA OLEFIN METATHESIS, Macromolecular rapid communications, 19(4), 1998, pp. 223-228
In this paper we report on the synthesis of all-trans oligomers of 2,5
-diheptyloxy-p-phenylenevinylene (2,5-diheptyloxy-PV) via olefin metat
hesis condensation of 2,5-diheptyloxy-1,4-divinylbenzene(a) (2,5-dihep
tyloxy-DVB). The preparation of the monomer is also described. The Sch
rock type molybdenum alkylidene complex Mo(NPhMe2)(CHCMe2Ph)(OCMe[CF3]
(2))(2) was used as metathesis catalyst. The oligomer product obtained
was characterized by means of H-1 NMR, IR and UV/Vis spectroscopy and
gel permeation chromatography.
