Synthesis and photophysical properties of new styrylquinoline-containing polymers.

A series of novel polymers with styrylquinoline moiety and different substituents units have been successfully synthesized by radical polymerization. Styrylquinoline polymers were obtained by a three-step synthetic approach. This includes the condensation, preparation of a methacrylic monomers and their polymerization. The synthesized polymers are soluble in common organic solvents. Their photophysical and photochemical properties of the initial styrylquinoline and the polymer have been investigated by UV-vis and photoluminescence spectroscopy. Polymers were characterized by 1HNMR-spectroscopy and DSC techniques. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
