Rearrangement of the Main-Chain of the Organocobalt Polymers .2. Synthesis of Novel Poly(Pyridine-Diyl-ALT-Biphenyl-4,4’-Diyl) by the Reaction with Nitriles(1)
The polymers 3 having pyridine moieties in the main chain were synthesized by the reaction of the organocobalt polymers 1 having cobaltacyclopentadiene moieties in the main chain with various nitriles 2. When brown colored 1 and excess 2 were heated in tetrahydrofuran at 80 degrees C for 24 h and then at 150 degrees C for 12 h in a sealed tube, the polymers 3 were obtained by the precipitation with methanol in good yields. From the spectroscopic measurements, the resulting polymers 3 were found to contain 35-90% of the pyridine moieties depending on the structures of 1.
