Popis: Transparent, film-forming fluorinated arylene vinylene ether (FAVE) polymers with enchained triarylamine (TAA) moieties were prepared and characterized. Control over fluoro-olefin content within the backbone, as a function of base, was confirmed and postpolymerization dehydrofluorination was shown to increase fluoroolefin content from 5 to 31 mol %. Thermal cross-linking was found to occur approximately 100 °C lower than in traditional FAVE polymers (ca. 160 °C). Electrochemical analysis demonstrated the enchained TAA retained its established electrochemical character. The latent reactivity of the TAA was explored via electrophilic aromatic substitution and formylation reactions toward precise functionalization for specific electro-optic applications and others.
