Abstract
The dimethylsulfonium polyelectrolyte precursor polymer 1 afforded high quality poly(p-phenylenevinylene), PPV, when the sulfonium elimination was performed under acidic conditions; it is proposed that the elimination of the sulfonium group to form a vinylene unit proceeds by an E1 mechanism in the solid state.Keywords
