Abstract

A series of five polydiacetylenes have been synthesized via topochemical polymerizations of the corresponding monomers. The requisite structural parameters for the polymerization were achieved by the use of a host–guest co-crystal strategy. The atom trajectories of the polymerization reactions are discussed.
