SYNTHESIS OF CHIRAL CONJUGATED POLYBINAPHTHYLS BY SONOGASHIRA REACTION

Chiral polymers P-1 and P-2 were synthesized by the polymerization of （R）-3,3＇-diiodo-2,2＇-bisbutoxy-1,1＇- binaphthyl （M- 1 ） with 2,5-di（4-ethynylphenyl）- 1,3,4-oxadiazole （M-3） and （R）-3,3＇-diethylnyl-2,2＇-bisbutoxy- 1,1 ＇-binaphthyl （M-2） with 1,2-di（4-bromophenyl）acetylene （M-4） under Sonogashira reaction, respectively. Both monomers and polymers were analyzed by NMR, MS, FT-IR, UV-Vis spectroscopy, DSC-TGA, fluorescence spectroscopy, GPC and CD spectroscopy. CD spectra of P-1 and P-2 are similar due to the same chiral center units and main chain structure. The long wavelengths CD effect of P-1 and P-2 can be regarded as the more extended conjugated structure and a highly rigid backbone in the polymer chain. Polymers have strong blue fluorescence due to the efficient energy migration from the extended n-electronic structure of the polymers to the chiral binaphthyl core and are expected to provide understanding of the relationship between molecular structure and fluorescent property of the chiral polymers.
