How is excitation energy transferred from the side group to the triple bond in diacetylene?

07 July 2016 1 9K Report

Diacetylenes are a conjugated system consisting of two triple bonds. The solid state polymerization of diacetylenes proceeds as 1,4-addition to the conjugated triple bonds and gives rise to polymers with a fully conjugated backbone.
