The polymerization of an ionic propargyl derivative, 4-dimethylamino-N-propargylpyridinium bromide (DMAPPB), was carried out by palladium, platinum, and ruthenium chlorides. The polymerization of DMAPPB by these transition metal 401 catalysts proceeded well to give a relatively high polymer yield. The chemical structure of the resulting polymer was characterized by such instrumental methods as elemental analysis, infrared, NMR, UV -visible spectroscopies to have conjugated polymer backbone system bearing 4-dimethylamino-N-methylenepyridinium bromide. The polymer was soluble in DMF, DMSO, and formic acid, and found to be less hygroscopic than those of similar homologues having more smaller substituents. The resulting polymers were mostly black powders and showed the amorphous morphology.
