description

Monodisperse alkoxylated oligo(phenylenevinylene)s with 3, 4, or 5 benzene rings were connected to reactive di- and triethoxysilanes, either directly or via flexible spacers. Aminopropylsilanes were condensed with stilbenoid aldehydes and subsequently reduced to amines, for the direct, rigid connection, the Heck reaction and also cross-metathesis with vinyl silanes proved to be successful routes. Hydrolysis of the ethoxysilanes leads to polymerisable cyclosiloxanes or curable three-dimensional networks with pendent chromophores.
