The acetylenic coupling polymerization of d-hydroxyphenylglycine-derived m-terphenylene diynes 1鈥?b>5 using Pd/Cu catalyst gave the corresponding polymers [poly(1)鈥損oly(5)] with Mn = 12鈥?00鈥?0鈥?00 in 53鈥?9% yields. The polymers were soluble in THF and DMF. CD and UV鈥搗is spectroscopic analysis revealed that p,p鈥?phenyleneethynylene-linked poly(1), poly(3), and poly(5) formed chiral higher-order structures in THF/H2O mixtures, while m,m鈥?phenyleneethynylene-linked poly(2) and poly(4) did not. The sign of CD signal of poly(1) was reasonably predicted by time-dependent density functional calculations of the model system. The polymers emitted fluorescence with quantum yields ranging from 0.2鈥?4.8%.
