Geometrically pure, all-cis poly(phenylene vinylenes) (PPVs) are synthesized by Suzuki-Miyaura-type polycondensation of 2,5-dioctyloxy-1,4-benzenediboronic acid with (Z, Z)-bis(2-bromoethenyl)benzenes, which are prepared by ruthenium-catalyzed (Z)-selective double hydrosilylation of diethynylbenzenes, followed by bromodesilylation of the resulting (Z, Z)-bis(2-silylethenyl)benzenes with N-bromosuccinimide. The all-cis PPVs thus obtained undergo one-way photoisomerization to the corresponding trans-PPVs both in solution and in the solid. This phenomenon is applied to direct microscale patterning of PPVs onto a quartz substrate.
