Synthesis of Novel Polymers Containing Cyclo- butadiene Thiophene and Alkyne Units : Polymeric Organometallic Mesogens""

Both NMR-spectra and IR-spectra of 3a-e confirm the absence of terminal alkyne functionalities. While the NMR- spectra of the parent 3a and of 3d and 3e are simple due to their high symmetry, in the case of 3b and 3c the spectra are complicated due the fact that the mono-substituted thio- phenes can be incorporated into the polymer in three differ- ent ways (Scheme 2).

In the I3C-NMR spectrum of 3b a split of the signals into two sets of roughly equal intensities indicates that A and B are predominant. A third set tentatively assigned to C is almost hidden under noise. The reason for the much lower abundance of C might be due to the fact that 1 first reacts

with the sterically least crowded side of 2b so that mostly A is formed. In later stages of the reaction B forms by reaction of two A fragments with 1.

The molecular weights (GPC, Table 1) of 3a-e show typ- ical P, values between 15 and 40 depending on the sub- stituent pattern of the utilized thiophene monomer. We were able to corroborate these results by elemental analysis, find- ing values of iodine in the range between 3 and 5 %, allowing us to estimate P, independently. This holds under the condi- tion that all end groups are iodine-carrying thiophenyl units and that dehalogenation processes can be ignored.

All of the obtained polymers show lyotropic nematic phases upon slow concentration of their solutions in chlori- nated solvents. The liquid crystalline phases were evidenced by observation of the typical schlieren texture which did not disappear upon complete removal of solvent. A frozen liquid crystalline phase is formed thus, in which the orientational long range order and the singularities of the parent phase are retained. An exception is observed in the phase behavior of 3b. Upon concentration it forms a fan-like texture (Fig. 1) typically observed in low molecular weight smectic com- pounds, but not in nematic phases.[g] Slow evaporation of a solution of 3a,c,d,e in dichloromethane yielded almost X-ray amorphous samples showing only a reflection at d = 10 8, corresponding to the intrachain Co- Co distance.

Fig. 1. Fan-type texture of a lyotropic sample of 3b under crossed polarizers. This picture has been taken in the frozen lyotropic state. The solvent used was chloroform.

Slow evaporation of dichloromethane of an anisotropic solution of 3b afforded a material which was crystalline due to X-ray powder diffractometry. Additionally, electron mi- croscopy and diffraction were performed upon dried thin films of 3b which had been used for polarization microscopy. In both cases the same set of reflections was observed. Select- ed area electron diffraction made it possible to examine ori- ented domains. The following reflections were observed : 10.08, (m), 8.1 8, (om), 6.1, 5.5, 4.6, 3.5, 2.68, (e) ( m = meridional, om = off meridional, e = equatorial) indicating the presence of a three dimensionally ordered phase.

In Figure 2 an electron micrograph of a thin film of 3b is shown. It was verified by electron diffraction that the chains are oriented parallel to the substrate. In analogy to the mor- phology of many polymers we interpret the quasi-regular systems of stripes in Figure 2 as lamellae seen edge-on. The thickness of the lamellae (ca. 30nm) corresponds to the length of a macromolecule. It is assumed that the polymer chains are oriented perpendicular to the lamellae surface so

that the end groups are preferentially located in the inter- lamellar region. The results of the diffraction experiments indicate that the polymer chains are in register, i.e. adjacent chains are arranged such that the cyclobutadiene residues are correlated with respect to each other. In this model rotation- al disorder is possible. The term smectic describes in this context the correlation between monomer units rather than between discrete polymer chains.

Similar results have been found previously with a number of different worm-like polymers substituted by flexible side chains (polydiacetylenes. substituted poly-p-phenylenes and phthalocyaninatopolysiloxanes) in frozen lyotropic phases."" The high order of crystallized 3b is in agreement with the assumption of the transient formation of a smectic lyotropic phase. In order to characterize this smectic lyo- tropic phase a diluted sample of 3b was slowly concentrated by evaporation of trichlorobenzene solutions and different stages of this process were monitored by X-ray diffraction.

In the diluted solution no sharp reflections are seen. After most of the solvent had evaporated, sharp peaks of all equa- torial reflections appear. In the area where in the crystallized sample non-equatorial reflections are located, a broad re- gion of scattered intensity is observed. This is in accordance with the scattering behavior of a smectic phase, where the equatorial reflections are retained, and the meridional and the off-meridional reflections transform into streaks which in the diffraction pattern of a non-oriented sample show up as broad features which we observe.

From the above experimental results we conclude, that the crystallization of 3b proceeds through the transient phase of a lyotropic smectic state, hitherto not observed in polymeric organometallic systems

Experimental The following is a typical polymerization procedure leading to polymer 3b.

The syiithcsis of the polymers 3a,c-e is completely analogous. An amount of 341 mg (0.926mmol) 1. 40.2 nig PdCI2(PPh,),. 8.8mg CuI (5 mol%) and 389 mg (0.926 mniol) 2b are stirred i n 40 mL of degassed and argon-fluqhed piperidine for 18 h at 21 'C. To remove ammonium salts the solution is filtered, the piperidine is removed under reduced pressure, the residue dissolved in chloroform and slowly precipitated into methanol. The precipitate is isolated by centrifugation. redissolved into chloroform and added to - 300 m L pentane where It forms a clear solution. Upon standing at - 30 'C for 48 h a precipitate of 3b develops and is isolated as ochre-yellow powder in 82%, which forms transparent films when cast quickly from chloroform onto a glass slide.
