Abstract

The synthesis of a zinc porphyrin linked conjugated homopolymer is presented. The synthetic strategy employed a directional polymerization of 1-iodo-2, 5-dioctyl-4'- ethynyltolane in the presence of [10, 20-bis (3, 5-bis-tert-butylphenyl]-5, 15- diethynylporphinato] zinc (II)(12) or [10, 20-bis (3, 5-bis-tert-butylphenyl]-5, 15- dibromoporphinato] zinc (II)(10). In the case of 12 the reaction was found to give a polymer ...
