Abstract: Chiral conjugated polymers P-1 and P-2 were obtained by the polymerization of (S)-6,6'-dibromo-2,2'-bisbutoxy-1,1'-binaphthyl and (R)-6,6'-dibromo-2,2'-bisbutoxy-1,1'-binaphthyl with 2,5-bis(tri-n-butyltinphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole(M-2) respectively via Stille coupling reaction catalyzed by Pd(PPh3)4. Both monomers and polymers were characterized by NMR, MS, FTIR, UV, DSC-TG, fluorescent spectroscopy, GPC and CD spectra. The butoxy substitutents on binaphthyl rings as a side chain of the polymers can improve the solubility in organic solvents and facile electro-optical sensors. 1,3,4-Oxadiazole unit is a better chromophore, and has good hole-transporting and stability for oxygen and heat. The polymers can emit very strong blue fluorescence. They are expected to have the potential application in the materials of interesting electro-optical molecular sensors.
