Abstract

A typical reaction of four-center photopolymerization is that of 2,5-distyrylpyrazine (DSP), which was reported by the author in 1967.

Since then, a large number of new polymer crystals have been prepared from conjugated diolefin crystals. All the polymers studied so far, are highly crystalline and three dimensionally oriented with the 1,3-trans cyclobutane and 1,4-phenylene groups alternating in the main chain.

In 1978 Lahav et al. (Weizmann Institute, Israel) succeeded in an absolute asymmetric syntheses of chiral oligomeric crystals by the four-center polymerization of achiral monomer.

X-ray crystallographic studies during the course of the reaction have demonstrated that the reaction is a typical topochemical process involving a direct rearrangement of the monomer crystal to the polymer crystal having an extended rigid rod-like structure. By x-ray analysis and DSC on the thermal depolymerization of the polymer crystal, a reversible topochemical process has been demonstrated for monomer and polymer crystals.

Considering these characteristics from an overall point of view, it is assumed that in the four-center photopolymerization, both polymerization process and polymer properties can provide suitable patterns for naturally occurring polymers.
