Abstract:-Two new π-conjugated polymers viz; poly(p-phenylenevinylene-1,3,4-oxadiazole), (PPVO) and poly(p-(nitro-phenylene)vinylene-1,3,4-oxadiazole) (PNPVO) were synthesized and characterized. Gilch polymerization technique, using dihaloderivatives of 1,3,4-oxadiazoles, was employed to synthesize them under mild reaction conditions. The macromolecules exhibit good solubility in DMF, formamide, and DMSO, and thus effectively address the insolubility issues
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
