New procedures for preparation of polyacetylenes with highly luminescent naphthalimide groups that might be potentially utilized in optoelectronics and sensors are developed within the framework of present doctoral thesis. The procedures provide luminescent a) linear polyacetylenes that can be processed from solutions, and b) mesoporous network polyacetylenes with high pore volume. Two paths to soluble polyacetylenes are used: (i) copolymerization of ethynyl- functionalized naphthalimide (monomer PN) and a monoethynyl aromate catalyzed with [Rh(nbd)acac], and (ii) modification of poly(disubstituted acetylene)s carrying -chloroalkyl pendants involving the exchange of chlorine atoms for azido groups and subsequent "click"- reaction of Huisgen type of azido groups with ethynyl groups of PN. The PN does not homopolymerize but copolymerizes with ethynylaromates. The highest possible molar fraction of the PN units in copolymers is of 0.5, which suggests the absence of PN dyads or longer sequences in copolymers and the alternating arrangement of PN units in the copolymers of the composition of 0.5. Surprisingly, ethynylarenes that give insoluble homopolymers gave soluble copolymers with PN. The modification procedure requires knowledge on the effect of the monomer structure symmetry and substituent...
