Synthesis and Chemical Properties of pi-Conjugated Poly(9,10-dialkyl-9,10-dihydrophenanthrene-2,7-diyl) and a Related Polymer
pi-Conjugated poly(9,10-diocty1-9,10-dihydrophenanthrene-2,7-diyl) and a related polymer were prepared by dehalogenative organometallic polycondensation using the corresponding dibromo compound. The polymers are photoluminescent and show a tendency to self-assemble.
