Abstract

We report syntheses of phenylene-, biphenylene-, and terphenylene-layered polymers with a xanthene scaffold by the modified Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction. Their optical properties were studied in detail. The polymer end-capped by nitrobenzene units, which act as fluorescence quenchers, exhibited the photo-excited energy transfer from the layered oligophenylenes to the terminal units.
