The hydroxy group-containing polymers have received unabated attention in the design and synthesis of multifunctional polymers. Unlike other π-conjugated polymers, they contain hydroxy groups in the side chain that provide the facile modification of hydroxy groups into other interesting functional groups. A new conjugated polymer with hydroxy functional groups, poly(4-ethynylbenzyl alcohol) [poly(4-EBA)], was synthesized by the polymerization of 4-ethynylbenzyl alcohol (4-EBA) using transition metal catalysts. The polymer structure was characterized by various instrumental methods as NMR, IR, and UV-visible spectroscopies to have a conjugated polymer backbone system carrying the designed substituents. The photoluminescence maximum peak of polymer was located at 465 nm, which corresponds to the photon energy of 2.67 eV. |
