Poly(methyl-phenylsilylene) Derivatives as Photoconductors

Abstract
The attachment of long wavelength absorbing π-conjugated chromophores to poly(methyl-phenylsilylene) (PMPSi) via reactions of its formylated derivative is described. Some of the obtained polymers exhibit improved photostability in comparison with the parent polymer. Their spectral properties and photoconductivity are discussed. Ultrathin layers and multilayers were prepared from polar derivatives of PMPSi by the Langmuir-Blodgett technique and their photoconductive behaviour was studied.
