The transition-metal catalyzed polymerization of acetylene itself and substituted acetylenes yielded the linear polyacetylene materials. Attachment of functional groups into the polymer backbone not only ameliorates the negative properties of polyacetylene such as instability, insolubility, and infusibility, but also confers peculiar functions such as optical and photonic ptoperties, magnetism, gas permeability, etc. Here, we studied the polymerization behaviors of 1-ethynyl-4-phenoxybenzene, an aromatic acetylene, using various transition metal catalysts. The chemical structure and properties of resulting polymer was characterized by various instrumental methods. The electro-optical and electrochemical performance of polymers were also measured and discussed.
