New Polyacetylenes with Aromatic Schiff's Base Pendant Groups by Polymerization of Benzylidene-Ring-Substituted N-Benzylidene-4-Ethynylanilines With Rh-Based Catalysts

Abstrakt

N-Benzylidene-4-ethynylanilines, R-C6H4-CH=N-C6H4-CCH substituted in 4' position by R = H, t-Bu, F, Pr, CN, NO2 and Me2N, were polymerized in tetrahydrofuran using [Rh(cod)X](2) (cod = 1,5-cyclooctadiene; X = Cl, OCH3)
