Abstract

Triptycene moieties can induce favorable intermolecular interactions to create new guest-host electrooptic (EO) polymers with unique advantages. The triptycene moiety was attached to the aniline donor of a push-pull phenyltetraene chromophore to form the chromophore AJPL172. The chromophore AJPL170 was synthesized as a comparison model compound. The results show that AJPL170 and AJPL172 have very similar glass transition temperatures around 110°C, and no melting points with the chromophores decomposition temperatures at around 200°C. A strong guest-host interaction is present in AJPL172/BPAPC-40 wt% and conserve the similar structural motif, where the triptycene moiety of AJPL172 interacts with the phenyl ring and/or carbonate unit of BPAPC through a molecularly threaded interaction.
