| Our ongoing interest in conjugated polymer systems has led us to investigate isobenzofuran as a possible monomer for the synthesis of conducting polymers. Due to isobenzofuran's unique aromatic structure, poly(isobenzofuran) is expected to have a low band gap and thus may serve as a transparent conductor. Various methods for functionalizing the 1 and 3 positions of isobenzofurans in order to facilitate polymerization will be discussed along with the incorporation of these molecules into polymers. Additionally, related work on the synthesis of functionalized chemical vapor deposition coatings based on poly(dihydroisobenzofuran) will be presented.
