Abstract

An ionic conjugated polymer was prepared by the spontaneous polymerization reaction of ethynylpyridines by using 11-bromoundecanoic acid in high yield without any additional initiator or catalyst. The activated acetylenic triple bond of N-substituted-2-ethynylpyridinium bromide, formed at the initial quaternarization process, was susceptible to linear polymerization. The polymer structure was characterized by various instrumental methods such as NMR, IR, and UV-visible spectroscopies. The photoluminescence peak is located at 593 nm corresponding to a photon energy of 2.09 eV. The electrochemical properties of this ionic polyacetylene were also measured and discussed.
