The topochemical 1,6-polymerization of a triene.
The first topochemical 1,6-polymerization of a triene has been observed. The required supramolecular structure for this polymerization was achieved by the pi-pi stacking of the isonicotinate functionality. The crystal environment of this polymerization reaction controlled both the molecular and supramolecular structure of the polymer and allowed its structure to be determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.
