ABSTRACT ~e have studied the preparation of polyacene via its prepolymer (polyethynylacetylene PEA) by Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) method using 22,24-pentacosadiynoic acid (,~-PDY) as a LB monomer. The molecular structure of photopolymerized w-PDY t,B films was investigated by optical measurements. It was shown that 3,4-photopolymerization predominantly occurred to give conjugated sequences (CH=CH)20 in the LB films.

The preliminary study of C~C bonds cyelization in the photopolymerized LB

films by heat treatment was performed to prepare polyacene. INTRODUCTION Polyacene (PA) is an i n f i n i t e linear acene, namely one-dimensional graphite which is expected to have a high electrical conductivity without doping from the result of the band calculations [ I - 2 ] . ration of PA.

Thus far no one has succeeded in the prepa-

In our previous study [3-4] we investigated a method to prepare PA

via its prepolymer, polyethynylacetylene (PEA) by the catalyst polymerization. It was, however, proved to be d i f f i c u l t to prepare the pure and trans form PEA by the catalyst polymerization.

Recently thin conducting films have been made using the

Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) method that is known as a method for orienting organic molecules regularly [5-6].

Then we have studied the preparation of PA using the LB

method by which the pure and trans form PEA should be prepared by the process shown in Figure I. In this paper we report about the preparation of LB multilayers 2 of monosubstituted 1,3-butadiyne LB monomers, the molecular structure of the photopolymeriaed LB

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION PEe~aration of m u l t i l a y e r s of HC~C-C~C-(CH~)~-COOH Monosubstituted 1,3-butadiyne LB monomers,

HC~C-C~C-(CH2).-COOH (n=8,14,20),

were synthesized by the acetylene coupling reaction between p r o p a r g y l i c acid HC~C-COOH and iodoacetylenic long chain f a t t y acid IC~C-(CH2)n-COOH (n=8,14,20) previously reported by RuaudeI-Teixier et a l . E 7 ] .

The production y i e l d s were lO~

(n=8), 5~ (n=14,20), r e s p e c t i v e l y , and the s t r u c t u r e of these compounds was i d e n t i f i e d by IR and 'H-NMR spectra. The s o l u t i o n of each 1,3-butadiyne LB monomer (2 X 10-3 M in chloroform) was spread on a water subphase containing CdCI2 (5 X 10.4 M).

The force-area ( H - A )

curve f o r a monolayer of each LB monomer is shown in Figure 2.

The LB monomer of n

=20, namely 22,24-pentacosadiynoic acid (~-PDV) showed a sharp force-area curve in which H - v a l u e s a b r u p t l y increased at smaller area A in comparison with LB monomers of n=8,H.

A t o t a l number of 20 carbon atoms in a f a t t y acid is necessary to form

a condensed surface s t a t e on the subphase.

~-PDV monolayers were successively

transferred onto a CaF2 substrate as Y type u n t i l a m u l t i l a y e r of defined thickness was obtained.

X-ray d i f f r a c t i o n patterns ( F i g . 3 ) of the m u l t i l a y e r showed high

order signals ( 0 0 )

up to

=7 with d-spacing (002) = 28 ~ which corresponds to one

molecular length of ~-PDY.

I t means that the ~-PDY m u l t i l a y e r was uniformly

formed by the LB technique.

The molecular long axis in the m u l t i l a y e r was found to

be inclined spectra.

C804 Characterization of photopolymerized ~-PDY multilayers -PDY multilayers vere readily polymerized by UV irradiation (lO0~ Iov-pressure Bg lamp) and their UV-VIS absorption spectra (Fig.~) shoved that the absorption edge only redshifted vithout any hey absorption band in the v i s i b l e region. Tieke et a l . [ 8 ] observed tvo kinds of nev absorption bands at arround 500 nm and 600 nm by the photopolymerization of disubstituted diacetylene multilayers, vhich resulted in linear polydiaeetylene by 1,4-polymeri2ation. Therefore, our results suggest that the other polymerization form such as 1,2- or 3,4-polymerization occurs in monosubstituted diaeetylene multilayer rather than 1,4-polymerization.

IR bands v(C--C) at 2225 cm-1 and 2301 cm-~ are assigned to stretching vibrations of B-C--C- and -C~C- t r i p l e bonds, respectively, since the

On the other hand, the

d i s t o r t i o n parameter of ~-PDY multilayer was estimated to be a few percent by Microstrain Model analysis of X-ray d i f f r a c t i o n patterns of Fig.2(b).

The LB

molecular packing density in monolayer was lower by about 10 % than that of hexagonal closest packing by the result of transmission X-ray d i f f r a c t i o n patterns. Therefore, for the preparation of a metallic polyacene in the future, i t is necessary to increase the packing density of o-PDV in each monolayer, and to exclude the interlayer photopolymerization in the multilayer by using alternating L B method.
