Preparation of new poly(phenylene vinylene) type polymers by Ni-promoted polycondensation and their photoluminescent properties

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1998.613

Poly(p-phenylene vinylene) type polymers having biphenyl-4,4'-diyl units have been prepared by organometallic polycondensation. They are photoluminescent and electrochemically active, and are considered to take a stacked and liquid crystalline structure depending on the substituent.
