Glaser-Hay-Coupled Random Copolymers Containing Boron Difluoride Formazanate Dyes.

ABSTRACT: 𝜋-Conjugated polymers, including those based on acetylenic repeating units, are an exciting class of materials that offer narrow optical band gaps and tunable frontier orbital energies that lead to their use in organic electronics. This work expands the knowledge of structure-property relationships of acetylenic polymers through the synthesis and characterization of a series of Glaser-Hay-coupled model compounds and random copolymers comprised of BF₂ formazanate, fluorene, and/or bis(alkoxy)benzene units. The model compounds and copolymers synthesized exhibit redox activity associated with the reversible reduction of the BF₂ formazanate units and the irreversible reduction of the fluorene and bis(alkoxy)benzene units. The copolymers exhibit absorption profiles charac
