Abstract
A new kind of copolymerization between styrene and p-quinodimethane interme diates was realized by adding styrene to a reaction performed via the typic al chlorine precursor route toward ther synthesis of poly(p-phenylene vinyl ene) (PPV). The composition and structure of the obtained copolymers an be adjusted by the feed rate of the two monomers. The resulting copolymers sho w improved solubility and blue-sifted photoluminescence as compared with th e corresponding PPV derivative.
