Abstract
Copolymerization of (−)menthyl acrylate(MtA) and (−)menthyl methacrylate(MtMA) with 1-vinylnaphthalene(1VN) were carried out in bulk at 65°C using 2,2′-azoisobutyronitrile(AIBN) as initiator. Reactivity ratios and distribution parameters were calculated for both systems. Alternating copolymers were prepared by donor-acceptor complex polymerization with Et 3Al 2Cl 3. The polymers were characterized by viscosity, n.m.r., i.r. and u.v. measurements. Chiroptical and fluorescence properties of the naphthalene chromophore in these copolymers are related to composition and sequence length. Possible mechanisms of optical activity induction in the naphthalene chromophore are discussed.
