Synthesis of high molecular weight trans-poly(9,9-di-n-octylfluorene-2,7-vinylene) by the acyclic diene metathesis polymerization using molybdenum catalysts
High molecular weight trans-poly(9,9-di-n-octylfluorene-2,7-vinylene) was prepared under reduced pressure in the presence of a well-defined Schrock-type catalyst, Mo(CHCMe2Ph)(N-2,6-Me2C6H3)[OCMe(CF3)(2)](2) in toluene. rue effect of initial monomer concentration was found to be an important factor for preparing high molecular weight polymers with unimodal molecular weight distributions.
