Abstract

A novel poly(phenylene ethynylene) derivative containing cyano group as electron-transporting moiety was synthesized via Pd-catalyzed coupling reaction. The structures of the monomers and polymer were confirmed by spectroscopy. The polymer demonstrated a wide variation of solubility, optical absorption, electrical conductivity and electrochemical properties.
