Abstract

C~60~Cl~n‐m~ bonded poly(N‐vinylcarbazole) (C~60~‐PVK) has been synthesized by C~60~Cln (the average value of n is 20)/CuCl/ Bpy (2,2′‐bipyridine) catalyst system and its structure was analyzed by UV‐Vis and proton NMR. The polymerization mechanism was proposed proceeding via a atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). The block copolymer of poly N‐vinylcarbazole‐block‐polystyrene can also be compounded by adding styrene after N‐vinylcarbazole polymerized completely in this polymerization system. The photoconducting properties of C~60~Cl~n‐m~‐bonded poly(N‐vinylcarbazole) was better than poly(N‐vinylcarbazole) initiated by AIBN. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 87: 606–609, 2003
