摘要:
The regioselective cyclopolymerization of two structurally different 1,7-octadiynes, i.e. of 1,4-dihexyloxy-2,3-dipropargylbenzene (M1) and (R,R)/(S,S)-4,5-bis(trimethylsilyloxy)-1,7-octadiyne (M2) has been achieved with the modified Grubbs-Hoveyda-type metathesis initiator Ru(NCO)(2) (IMesH(2))(=CH-(2-(2-PrO)C6H4)) (I1, IMesH(2) = 1,3-dimesitylimidazolidin-2-ylidene) and with a series of Schrock initiators in the presence of quinuclidine, yielding conjugated polymers consisting virtually exclusively of 1,2-cyclohex-1-enylenvinylene units. In contrast to I1, Mo(N-2,6-(2-Pr)(2)C6H3) (CHCMe2Ph)(OCHMe2)(2) (I3) allows for establishing a living polymerization with M2 in the presence of quinuclidine. The structure of the polymers, which represent highly soluble and stable poly(acetylene) analogues, Was confirmed by comparing the C-13 NMR shifts of model compounds with those of the corresponding polymer. Poly(ene)s that are virtually solely based on six-membered repeat units show a bathochromic shift in UV-absorption compared to poly(ene)s based on six- and seven-membered rings.
