Abstract

AbstractThe oxidative coupling polymerization of triphenylamine derivatives having 2‐naphthol moieties with a CuCl‐2,2′‐isopropylidenebis(4‐phenyl‐2‐oxazoline) catalyst under an O2 atmosphere was carried out. The polymerization of the monomer bearing both the hydroxynaphthoate and naphthol units afforded a hyperbranched polymer with a high cross‐coupling selectivity of > 99%, which showed a number‐average molecular weight of 20.3 × 103. In addition, the obtained polymer was quite soluble in THF. The photoluminescence and electrochemical properties of the obtained polymers were also examined. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
