Abstract
Insertion of thiophene-2,5-diyl, or 1,4-phenylene into palladium poly-ynes by the polycondensation of dihalide complexes PdCl2(PR3)2 (R = Ph o γ n-butyl) with a di-yne monomer (obtained from the reaction of equimolar quantities of p-diethynyl-benzene with 2,5-diiodothiophene or 1,4-diiodobenzene) affords a series of palladium poly-ynes 1–6. The polymers/oligomers, soluble in common organic solvents, exhibit strong fluorescence at the excitation of UV-visible light at room temperature. The emission intensity of the polymers/oligomers with thiophene-2,5-diyl is 3–17 times stronger than that of the analogous polymers without thiophene-2,5-diyl. Polymers with phenyl substituted phosphine ligands emit stronger emission than those only with n-butyl phosphine ligands. The effects of molecular weight, ligands, solvents, and concentration on the fluorescence properties are also investigated. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 64: 1657–1665, 1997
