Silicon-containing polyoxadiazoles-synthesis and perspectives.
A review is presented on those polymers which contain diphenylsilylene units and 1,3,4-oxadiazole rings either in the main chain or in the pendent groups. The synthesis of silicon-containing monomers as well as of the polyoxadiazoles based on them is described. The properties of these polymers, such as solubility, film forming ability, thermal stability, electrochemical behavior and photoluminescence properties, and their potential applications are discussed.
