Abstract
Photochemical transformation of polyphenylacetylene (PPA) was studied. Irradiation of a toluene solution of PPA with the light λ = 365 nm induces the cleavage of PPA polymeric chains and cis-transoidal—trans-cisoidal isomerization. Intense photoluminescence appears after irradiation of the polymer.
