Abstract

Abstract: Described are two approaches to planar conjugated poly@-phenylene)(PPP) derivatives. The first approach, involving lactam bridges, was unsuccessful due to the insolubility of the 6 (5H)-phenanthridinonyl moieties. The second approach, which utilized imine bridges, worked excellently since the compounds were generally soluble and the bridge formations were highly efficient. The main PPP backbone was synthesized via Pd ( ...
