Notes:
The scandium naphthenate/trialkylaluminum system was investigated as a catalyst in the polymerization of substituted alkynes. Phenylacetylene was converted to a moderately crystalline, high cis polymer. The alkyl-substituted acetylenes produced rubbery or solid materials of relatively high molecular weight. Infrared (IR), ultraviolet (UV), 1H-NMR, and 13C-NMR studies of the polyalkylacetylenes revealed high cis conformation, but apparently twisted from planarity to decrease molecular orbital overlap in the polyconjugated chain.
