Abstract
The use of sulfinyl groups as thermally eliminable groups in precursor rout es towards conjugated systems, like OC1C10-PPV, is evaluated by different t echniques: Thermal Gravimetric Analysis, Direct Insert Probe Mass Spectrosc opy and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy. The process of conversion can be divided into three stages: evaporation of water associated with the hygroscopic sulfinyl groups, elimination of the sulfinyl groups and finally evaporation of the elimination products.
