An ionic polyacetylene derivative from the non-catalyst polymerization of 2-ethynylpyridine using 2-(bromomethyl)benzyl alcohol
The catalyst-free polymerization of 2-ethynylpyridine using 2-(bromomethyl)benzyl alcohol proceeded well to give a high yield of polymer (91%). The structural analysis of resulting polymer indicated that the resulting conjugated polymer have the (N-2-hydroxymethylbenzyl)pyridinium bromide as substituents. The absorption spectrum exhibited the maximum peak of 457nm and the band gap was 2.15eV. Overall redox current shape and values were very stable in the range of -1.5V to 1.5V under up to 50 cycles. Oxidation was started at 0.388V. HOMO and LUMO levels were 5.14 and 2.99eV, respectively.
