Abstract: The fullerenated polymet hylphenylsilane(C₆₀-PMPS)was synthesized by two meth-ods. Either PMPS was synthesized via Wurtz type reduced coupling reaction firstly and Then C₆₀-PMPS was synthesized by Friedel-Crafts type reaction;or C₆₀-PMPS was obtained by directcopolymerization of dichloromet hylpHenylsilane and C_60.The structure of each type of C₆₀-PMPS was characterized by a series of methods such as UV-Vis, GPC and IR.The results show that C₆₀bonds with The pendant benzene ring of PMPS in Friedel-Crafts type C₆₀-PMPS while C₆₀may in₂corporate into The main chain in The case of copolymerized C₆₀-PMPS.The photoconductivity measurement s show that The copolymerized C₆₀-PMPS has a good photoconductivity in contrast with pure PMPS and Friedel-Crafts C₆₀-PMPS which have hardly any photoconductivities.
