Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution was prepared consisting of 12.76 g (0.075 mol) 2-phenylphenol, 15.62 g (0.075 mol) 9-Anthracene Methanol, 9.76 (0.075 mol) divinylbenzene dissolved in 25 g cyclopepentyl methyl ether (CPME) and 90 g diethylelene glycol dimethyl ether (DEGME) and the mixture was stirred for 5 minutes in a 250 mL, 4 neck flask equipped with an overhead mechanical stirrer, condenser, thermo watch, Dean Stark trap and a nitrogen purge. After this time, 1.14 g of triflic acid was added to the stirred mixture and it was stirred for another 10 minutes. The temperature of the stirred mixture was then raised to 140° C. and heated for 3 hours. After cooling the reaction mixture and diluting it with 250 mL of CPME, it was transferred to a separating funnel, and washed with two aliquots of deionized (DI) water (2×200 mL). The polymer was precipitated by drowning into hexane and was filtered, washed and dried under vacuum. The polymer was dissolved in THF and isolated using hexane to remove all monomer and oligomers. The weight average molecular weight of the polymer was 1859, PD was 1.40.
