Abstract

Soluble polydiacetylenes (CR-C=C-CR'=)_n [R=R'=(CH₂)₉O₂CCH₂Ph (2a); R=(CH₂)₉CH₃, R'= (CH₂)₈CO₂CH₂Ph (2b)] have been synthesized and reacted with Co₂(CO)₈ to introduce varying proportions of Co₂(CO)₆ groups, attached as Co₂C₂ tetrahedrane units, at the alkyne bonds of the conjugated ene-yne backbone. These metallated polymers have been characterised by analytical data and by IR, ¹³C{¹H} NMR and UV-VIS spectroscopy. Reactions between polydiacetylenes 2a or 2b and [M₂(CO)₄(?⁵-C₅H ₅)₂] (M=Mo, W) are also reported. The presence of fast optical non-linearities in these soluble polymeric materials was confirmed by fluorescence lifetime measurements and optical characterisation of the imaginary part of ?⁽³⁾. These studies were conducted on a picosecond timescale to allow electronic contributions to be resolved, and the related Im ?⁽³⁾ values tabulated against metal content and solution concentration.
