Toward Photopatternable Thin Film Optical Sensors Utilizing Reactive Polyphenylacetylenes

Abstract: Substituted polyphenylacetylenes featuring reactive pentafluorophenyl (PFP) ester moieties are synthesized. Parts of the reactive PFP groups are then converted with a mono ortho-nitrobenzyl-protected diamine in variable ratios. Thin films are prepared from these copolymers and irradiated with UV light (λ = 365 nm), resulting in crosslinking of the irradiated areas and hence enabling a photopatterning. We found that during the photocrosslinking process, the excess of PFP ester moieties is stable and remained in… Show more

“…More importantly, the polymer provides a versatile platform to create functional pore surfaces: the pentafluorophenyl ester enables amine coupling via active ester chemistry as well as ester hydrolysis for flexible follow‐up functionalization and adaptation of these layers. [ 42 ] Upon NPFPE grafting we observe an increase in Young's contact angle from 20°–30° up to 110°–130°, which is accompanied by a transition from Wenzel to Cassie–Baxter wetting state, demonstrated by the emergence of grating coloration (Figure 2d). These macroscopic changes in properties evidence the successful hydrophobization that is consequently used to enable further local functionalization by a wetting‐induced discrimination between the different gold elements.…”

“…It is also possible to control the molecular weights of the formed monosubstituted acetylene polymers by employing well‐defined Rh catalysts such as [(nbd)Rh(CCPh)(PPh 3 )] and [(nbd)Rh{C(Ph)CPh 2 }(PPh 3 )] . Substituted linear polyacetylenes prepared with Rh catalysts are transformed into crosslinked polymers by the postpolymerization reactions of pendant functional groups, including crosslinking by subsequent UV irradiation to poly(pentafluorophenyl ethynylbenzoate)s modified with mono o ‐nitrobenzyl‐protected diamine, salicylaldimine‐metal ionic crosslinking reactions of salicylidene Schiff‐base‐containing polyacetylenes, and interchain crosslinking of poly(4‐ethynyl)phenylacetylne by heating . o ‐Diethynylbenzene gives crosslinked polymers, whose network structures are dependent on polymerization catalysts (Rh, Ta) .…”

“…Poly(phenylacetylene)s (PPAs) have been the focus of intense research throughout the past decades . So far, a wide range of functional groups were attached to the phenyl and the acetylene moiety, respectively, to obtain specific properties of the resulting polymers . First, Lam et al published studies of PPAs bearing naphthyl groups as side‐chains for the application as an active layer material in organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs).…”
