MSc./Bachelor thesis

Group of “Specialty Polymers” under the leadership of Professor

Jiří Vohlídal is focused mainly on synthesis, characterization

and functional properties of conjugated polymers and

supramolecular systems:

Conjugated polymers

Conjugated polymers typically polyacetylenes, polyfluorenes, polythiophenes and polyanilines. Consequent functionalization of prepared conjugated polymers is focused mainly to preparation of conjugated polyelectrolytes or introduction of luminescence probes with a scope to prepare luminescence chemosensors. Research in the field of conjugated polymers is studied in close connection to the microporous polymer group.

Conjugated polymers are synthesized by various approaches. The

simplest way of preparation of conjugated polymers is an oxidation of appropriate monomer by selected oxidative reagents. Oxidative polymerization of aniline by various oxidative reagents was studied in close details in our group.

Another example conjugated polyacetylenes preparation.

Synthesis begins with a monomer synthesis

And consequent polymerization gave appropriate polyacelynes

Prepared polymers differ in luminescence color
