Abstract
The conductive polyrotaxane of the present invention contains an electron-accepting cyclic molecule in each of its repeating unit. Since the electron-accepting cyclic molecule remains stable because of molecular interaction with a π-conjugated oligomer molecule, the electron-accepting cyclic molecule is not dissociated during rotaxane polymerization reaction, and thus a conductive polyrotaxane of stable quality can be obtained.
Claims6
A conductive polyrotaxane synthesized by polymerization of rotaxanes, characterized in that each repeating unit of the conductive polyrotaxane contains an electron-accepting cyclic molecule.
A conductive polyrotaxane characterized in that the conductive polyrotaxane is a rotaxane polymer having a π-conjugated oligomer and an electron-accepting cyclic molecule.
A method of synthesizing a conductive polyrotaxane, comprising:
- reacting a rotaxane obtained by allowing a π-conjugated oligomer, cyclic molecule precursor, and cyclizing agent in a low-polarity organic solvent for subjecting oxidation polymerization.
