Pyridinium materials both molecular and polymeric are interesting class of multifunctional electrolytes and polyelectrolytes, which exhibit liquid-crystalline and light-emitting properties. Moreover, their properties could be easily tuned simply by modifying the chemical structures of counterions.
In this dissertation, we described the preparation and analysis of new ionic molecular materials based on bis(pyridinium salt)s and a new class of poly(pyridinium salt)s with various heterocyclic moieties in their backbones with various organic counterions. They were prepared by either ring-transmutation reaction or by metathesis reaction. Their chemical structures were confirmed by FTIR, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. They had excellent …
