✦ Synopsis
Abstract
Phenyleneethynylene macrocycle‐substituted acetylenes were synthesized by repetition of the Sonogashira coupling reaction, and the elimination reaction of the terminal acetylene protecting group. The monomers were polymerized with a rhodium catalyst, [Rh(nbd)Cl]~2~, at the terminal acetylene unit, and the polymerization mixtures were purified by precipitating into methanol to yield the corresponding poly(phenylacetylene) derivatives as yellow‐red powders, which had a high degree of polymerization ($\overline {DP}$ ≈ 500) in spite of their steric bulkiness. The trimethylsilyl and pentamethyldisiloxanyl groups of polymers improved their solubility, and the polymers were soluble in common organic solvents, such as toluene, chloroform and tetrahydrofuran.
