Abstract
Abstract In this communication we report some electronic spectral studies on a soluble polydiacetylene: poly[4,6-decadiyne-1,10-bis-(butoxycarbonyl methylene urethane)], 4BCMU. The results obtained are comparable to our previous studies on another soluble polydiacetylene: poly[10,12-docosadiyne-1,22-bis-(phenyl acetate)], 9PA. The essential difference between these two systems is that 4BCMU contains sidegroups capable of forming hydrogen bonds parallel to the polymer chain whereas the 9PA sidegroups cannot.
