Synthesis and Electro-Optical Properties of an IonicPolyacetylene with N-glycidylpyridinium Tosylate

An ionic conjugated polymer with a reactive glycidyl functionalities, poly(2-ethynyl-N-glycidylpyridinium tosylate), was synthesized by the activated polymer-ization of 2-ethynylpyridine with glycidyl tosylate. The instrumental analyses onthe polymer structure revealed that the present polymer have a conjugated polymerbackbone system with the designed substituents. The photoluminescence peak islocated at 710nm corresponding to the photon energy of 1.75eV. The cyclic voltam-mogram of this conjugated polyelectrolyte revealed that it show the well-definedand stable redox process
