Notes:
The classical and modern syntheses of oligophenyls and polyphenyls are compared to illustrate the value and the range of applications of the preparation methods described. The investigations showed a relationship between the number, arrangement, and substitution of the aromatic rings and the physical properties of the products. The melting point of the p-polyphenyls rises with increasing degree of condensation. Methylation, and linkage in the m-positions lowers the melting point and at the same time improves the solubility. o-Oligophenyls melt at lower temperatures than the p-isomers. The highest-melting substance in this class in p-septiphenyl, which melts at 545 °C.
