摘要 |
<p>The present invention relates to a novel class of electroluminescent ('EL') homopolymers, random co-polymers, and block co-polymers that includes repeating units of substituted (para-phenylenevinylene) ('PV') and/or substituted (1,4-naphthalenevinylene) ('NV') and methods for making the same. In general, the inventive homopolymers and copolymers are synthesized via ring opening polymerization ('ROMP') reactions by contacting a metathesis initiator with a corresponding substituted benzobarrelene or substituted barrelene. Novel methods for synthesizing substituted benzobarrelenes and barrelenes are also described.</p> |
