Abstract

It's just a phase: A highly fluorinated compd. with a rigid three-dimensional architecture was synthesized as a monomer for poly(p-phenyleneethynylene)s (PPEs). Fluorous biphase reactions were applied for the synthesis of a PPE that is sol. only in fluorous solvents. A fluorous soln. of the polymer could be processed into aq. emulsions that display high fluorescence quantum yields. [on SciFinder(R)]
