| Abstract: | Bisbenzils have been prepared by nucleophilic aromatic nitro displacement reactions. These materials, some model compounds, and some polyphenylquinoxaline polymers prepared from them were rigorously analyzed by 13C-NMR spectroscopy. The observed chemical shifts were in excellent agreement with calculated values based on model systems. This served as the strongest evidence to support the proposed structures and gave additional intimate structural information on the polyphenylquinoxalines. |
