The preparation of a bisphenol‐A carbonate copolymer, containing Cu‐diimine units with nonlinear optical (NLO) properties, and its MALDI‐TOF mass spectrometric characterization are reported. Contrary to the usual synthetic method, NLO groups were inserted directly into a commercial polycarbonate by prolonged heating at 250 °C. This innovative procedure allows to obtain a Cu/diimine‐containing polymer of high molecular weight.
