摘要

A novel non-conjugated aromatic polymer that contains azo-linked moieties of diphenylmethane and 2,5-bis-4-(hydroxyphenyl)-1,4-dimethoxybenzene ((MeO)2AzoPhO) has been obtained. The structure of the polymer is corroborated using IR spectroscopy, 1H, 13C NMR, and CP-MAS NMR spectroscopy. With the use of thermogravimetry, it is shown that the compound is thermally stable up to 150°C. Based on the analysis of the electron spectra, it is established that the band gap width (Eg) of (MeO)2AzoPhO equals 3.0-3.4 eV. This value is higher than Eg for the polymeric analogue with a conjugated linker (≈2.9 eV) and consistent with the size of the electron density delocalization regions.
