description

Poly(9,10-dihydroanthrylenetrimethylene) (2) comprises a novel chain-type structure in which 9,10-dihydroanthracene units are linked by flexible spacer groups. Upon dehydrogenation with sulfur at elevated temperature, polymer 2 is converted into the corresponding polyanthrylene system 3. NMR- and UV-spectroscopic data provide firm evidence for the dehydrogenation process. The polymer 3 was subjected to reduction with active lithium, and the resulting polyanions were characterized by NMR spectroscopy and by quenching experiments. It appears that each anthracene unit of the chain can be charged with two electrons.
