Abstract

In the interest of obtaining crystalline polydiacetylene with absorption at longer wavelengths, new derivatives of 2,4-hexadiyne with planar, visible absorbing aromatic chromophores have been designed, synthesized, and thermally polymerized. The resulting polymers have a red shifted maximum with absorption extending to the infrared. Their Raman spectra show the usual polydiacetylene ene-yne structure, and X-ray powder diffraction reveals that the new polymers are crystalline.
