Summary The synthesis of 11-[(4′-methoxy-4-biphenyl)oxy]undecanyl vinyl ether (4), 11-[(4′-nitro-4-biphenyl)oxy]undecanyl vinyl ether (13), 11-[p(4-cyanophenylbenzoate)oxy]undecanyl vinyl ether (17) and 3-[2-[1,2,2-trifluoroethoxy]-2-(4-methoxy-4-(α-methylstilbene)oxy]-1-(trifluoromethyl) trifluoroethoxy)-1-[2-(ethyloxy)ethoxy]-2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropane (22) and their cationic polymerization with the initiating system H2O/AIEtCl2/(CH3)2S is described. All the functional groups available in these monomers, i.e., nucleophilic aromatic groups, nitro and cyano groups, aromatic esters, double bonds and acidic protons are tolerated by this polymerization technique. The resulting polymers exhibit narrow molecular weight distribution and display mesomorphic behavior. With the exception of poly(4) which exhibits a monotropic sA mesophase, all other polymers display an enantiotropic sA mesophase.
