High Refractive Index, Enantiopure Silicones Based on BINOL
Abstract
The high refractive index aromatic compound, binaphthol (BINOL), is readily incorporated into silicone polymer chains using the Piers-Rubinsztajn (PR) reaction; alternating and random linear copolymers, and elastomers are available. The highest refractive index (RI) materials are BINOL rich. It is not possible to directly make high refractive index linear polymers with very short HSi-capped, telechelic silicone chains, as they do not react …
