摘要
An H-bonded main-chain liquid-crystalline (LC) polymer was obtained by in situ photochemical conversion from an H-bonded LC dimer. A bifunctional compound, 1, having a cinnamoyl group at one end and a carboxylic acid group at the other, was synthesized as the H-bonded LC dimer. UV irradiation of 1 in the LC phase in the presence of a sensitizer resulted in its conversion to a photodimer, with a carboxylic acid at both ends, through photocycloaddition of the cinnamoyl moiety. The LC phase was maintained during irradiation, because that of the photodimer was more thermally stable than that of 1. FT-IR analysis revealed that the carboxylic acids of the photodimer dominantly formed hydrogen bonds in the LC phase, which suggests that the photodimers assembled into an H-bonded main-chain LC polymer.
