Highly Oriented Unsubstituted Polydiacetylene
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 February 2011
Abstract
Highly oriented, unsubstituted polydiacetylene was obtained by the polymerization of 1,3-butadiyne in perhydrotriphenylene (PHTP). The canal structure of PHTP induces a high degree of order in the polymer. Transparent orange crystals were formed which were shown by SEM to consist of structures oriented parallel to the long axis of the crystal. Resonance Raman and UV-visible spectroscopy indicate the polymer consists of seven to ten conjugated ene-yne type repeat units. Crystallization of the inclusion complex was induced inside glass capillaries so the crystals filled the entire space along the length of the capillary.
