ω, ω′-Dihetaryl-substituted 2,5-dimethyl-1,4-divinylbenzenes

A series of ω, ω′-dihetaryl-substituted 2,5-dimethyl-1,4-divinylbenzenes has been synthesized and these show an increased solubility when compared with analogs not containing methyl groups in the central benzene ring. The dependence of spectral parameters on the chemical structure has been analyzed. Institute of Monocrystals, Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, Kharkov 310001.
