Summary
4′-(2-Vinyloxyethoxy)-4-nitrostilbene 2 was prepared by the reaction of 4′-hydroxy-4-nitrostilbene 1 with 2-iodoethyl vinyl ether. Monomer 2 was polymerized with cationic initiators to obtain a poly(ethyl vinyl ether) with the NLO-phore 4′-oxy-4-nitrostilbene in the side chain. The resulting polymer 3 was soluble in common solvents such as chloroform and DMSO. The inherent viscosities of polymer 3 were in the range of 0.25–0.30 dL/g in chloroform. Polymer 3 showed a good thermal stability in TGA thermogram. Solution-cast films were cloudy and brittle with a Tg of 63°C.
