Abstract
Abstract Experiments involving the condensation of 2-methyl- and 2,6-dimethylpyridine with benzaldehyde, and of 2-methylpyridine with terephthaldehyde to yield stilbazoles are described. They were used as models for the polycondensation of 2,6-dimethylpyridine with terephthaldehyde which in the presence of acetic anhydride and acetic acid gives the corresponding poly(vinylstyrylpyridine) with M n ∼ 10 000 . A similar polymer is formed by self-condensation of 2-(4-formylstyryl)-6-methylpyridine, the synthesis of which is described. The electrical conductivities of TCNQ complexes of the stilbazoles and the polymer are given.
