Abstract
Various chromophores useful for second-order nonlinear optics (NLO) have been attached to a preformed polystyrene backbone via palladium-catalyzed carbonylation reactions. Infavorable circumstances, the grafting reaction was nearly quantitative, leading to a high concentration of NLO-active chromophores in the resulting polymers. The polymers obtained in this way were amorphous, exhibited good solubility, and possessed high glass transition temperatures
