Novel fluorene-based poly(aromatic diacetylene)s have been synthesized by CuCl-catalyzed oxidative coupling of aromatic diynes.New aromatic diynes 2,7-diethynyl-9,9-bis(triphenylamine)fluorene(M_1)is synthesized by multistep reactions.The structures and properties of the polymers are characterized and evaluated by IR,NMR,TGA,UV, photoluminescence(PL),and cyclic voltammetry analyses.These polymers possess good thermal stability.All the polymers are completely soluble in coammon solvents such as toluene,THF,c...
New hyperbranched poly（aryleneethynylene）s containing carbazole moieties are synthesized in high yields （up to 87%） by polycyclotrimerization of 3,6-bis（4-ethynylphenyl）-9-octylcarbazole and its copolymerization with 1-octyne catalyzed by CpCo（CO）2 in THF. The structures and properties of the polymers are characterized and evaluated by IR, NMR, TGA, UV, photoluminescence, and cyclic voltammetry analyses. All the polymers are soluble in common organic solvents and show outstanding thermal stability （≥ 430℃）. They graphitize in high yields （up to 79%） when pyrolyzed at 800℃. Upon photoexcitation, the polymers emit a strong deep blue light of ca. 400 nm with quantum yields larger than 60%.
