Organometallic polyacetylene networks
Šorm, David ; Sedláček, Jan (advisor) ; Balcar, Hynek (referee)
A new type of organometallic polymer networks with a covalent structure of cross-linked substituted polyacetylenes containing Cu2+ or Pd2+ ions (5 to 17 wt%) has been developed. The metal ions were complexed in the networks predominantly with two N-salicylideneaniline ligands covalently bound to two different network monomeric units. Due to the chosen method of complexation, the metal ions have actively participated (as knots of the network) in the formation of cross-linked architecture of the products. For the preparation of organometallic networks two independent methods were used: (i) the direct polymerization of organometallic monomers and (ii) the two-stage method using postpolymerization introduction of metal ions into polyacetylene polymers containing covalently bound N-salicylideneaniline proligands. The starting low-molecular-weight blocks used for the network synthesis were new substances prepared within the framework of the diploma thesis, namely monomers of the mono- and diethynylated N-salicylideneanilines type and diethynylated organometallic monomers in which two molecules of a monoethynylated N-salicylideneaniline complexed one Mt2+ ion. The ethynylated monomers were polymerized to organometallic networks or precursors of these networks via chain-growth coordination polymerization,...

Substituted polyacetylenes with aldehydic groups: preparation and postpolymerization modification
Zhernakova, Yulia ; Sedláček, Jan (advisor) ; Faukner, Tomáš (referee)
Homopolymerization of 3-ethynylbenzaldehyde, 4-ethynylbenzaldehyde and 1- ethynylbenzene-3,5-dicarbaldehyde and copolymerization of these monomers with phenylacetylene have been studied with the aim to prepare soluble homo and copolymers of polyacetylene type with aldehyde groups in pendants. The Rh(I) complexes have been demonstrated to be efficient catalysts of these polymerizations. The solubility of homopolymers prepared was controlled by the symmetry/non-symmetry of the substitution of pendant phenyl groups of the monomeric units. Non-symmetrically substituted 3-ethynylbenzaldehyde provided soluble homopolymer, on the other hand symmetrically substituted 4-ethynylbenzaldehyde and 1- ethynylbenzene-3,5-dicarbaldehyde gave insoluble homopolymers: the insolubility of these homopolymers most probably reflected a tight packing of symmetrically substituted polymer chains in the solid phase. 3-Ethynylbenzaldehyde, 4-ethynylbenzaldehyde and 1-ethynylbenzene- 3,5-dicarbaldehyde when copolymerized with phenylacetylene yielded soluble binary copolymers with a tuneable composition. The polymerizability of 3-ethynylbenzaldehyde and 1- ethynylbenzene-3,5-dicarbaldehyde was close to that of phenylacetylene. However, 4- ethynylbenzaldehyde exhibited about half the polymerizability than phenylacetylene....
