Abstract

Polyacetylenes, poly(p‐phenyleneethynylenes), and polydiacetylenes, as conjugated polymers derived from triple‐bond containing building blocks, attain considerable attention because of their electronic and photoconduction properties. In this review, recent studies on the design and synthesis of conjugated polymers derived from triple‐bond building blocks are summarized with an emphasis on the developments in our group in recent years. Our intense attention is focused on constructing different molecular systems with enhanced light‐harvesting efficiency, and determining the functional properties of conjugated organic polymers. The conjugated organic polymers that appear in this review are useful candidates for various potential applications because of their extraordinary optical and electronic properties. The potential applications of the conjugated polymer‐containing systems are explored.
