Abstract
AbstractAnionic polymerizations initiated with an alkylene bridged dihydroanthracene dimer as a bifunctional initiator are described as a synthetic route to polymers containing the dianthryl species in the center of the macromolecular chain. The approach taken herein involves the twofold deprotonation of 1,3‐di‐(9,9′,10,10′ ‐tetrahydro‐9,9′ ‐anthryl)propane and the initiation of methyl methacrylate polymerization at both anionic sites. The synthesis of ABA block copolymers by addition of tert‐butyl acrylate as a second monomer is described. Polymer analogous aromatization of the initiator generates the corresponding polymer with two anthracene units in the main chain. The synthezised homo‐ and block copolymers have been fully characterized by GPC, UV and NMR measurements.
