Copoly(2,5-didodecyloxy-p-phenylenebutadiynylene/arylenebutadiynylene)s wer
e synthesized by polycondensition of 2,5-didodecyloxy-1,4-diethynylbenzene
with m-diethynylbenzene derivatives and 2,5-diethynylthiophene, respectivel
y, in presence of a Cu-amine catalyst under O-2. Solubility and processabil
ity of the polymers were greatly improved by the copolymerization. Most of
the copolymers have enhanced fluorescence intensity than corresponding homo
polymers.
