Popis: The polycondensation of 1-ethynyl-2,5-dihexyl-4-iodobenzene in the presence of 1-ethynyl-2,5-dihexyl-4-(2-phenylethynyl)benzene proceeds according to the mechanism of initiated chain growth polycondensation. It has allowed the synthesis of oligomers with a desired molecular weight and a narrow molecular weight distribution. The reasons for the side reaction leading to the formation of diyne compounds are revealed and the presumed mechanism is given. This opens prospects for the preparation of defectless poly(p-phenyleneethynylene)s with required molecular weights and narrow molecular weight distributions.
