Synthesis of pyridylbutadiyne derivatives and improvement of their solid-state polymerizability by complexation with alkanoic acid
4-Pyridyl-substituted polydiacetylenes, which have potential to form intermolecular complexes with a variety of species, were synthesized from 8-(4-pyridyl)oct-5,7-diynyl carbamate (PODC) derivatives for the first time. The monomer conversion of solid-state polymerization was improved by complexation with dodecanoic acid.
