Optical properties of poly(propylene carbonate) which contains C-60(OH)(n) structure in the end of polymer chain

Aikawa S, Yoshida Y, Nishiyama S, Noguchi H, Shoji A

Poly(propylene carbonate) which contains C-60(OH) n structure in the end of polymer chain was synthesized by copolymerization of propylene oxide and CO2 with Et2Zn-C-60(OH)(n) catalytic system. Emission and absorption spectra of the product polymer were determined and discussed. An emission band with a few peaks in UV-region were seen in the emission spectrum.
