We have observed a sudden solvatochromic transition in benzene or chloroform solutions of the polymer poly [bis (4-propoxybutyl) silylene](PPBS). The absorption band at 325 nm in the UV spectrum of PPBS is replaced by an absorption at 348 nm when small amounts of 1, 1, 1, 3, 3, 3-hexafluoro-2-propanol are added. This unprecedented behavior may result from hydrogen bonding of the fluoroalcohol to the oxygen atom in the polymer side chains, inducing an abrupt conformational transition.Polysilane polymers display strong electronic absorption bands in the near-ultraviolet region, assigned to σ f σ* transitions. 1 Many polysilanes exhibit marked thermochromism of this UV absorption, resulting from temperature-dependent changes in the polymer conformation that alter the σ-conjugation. 2 Other types of chromotropic behavior are less common for polysilanes, although electrochromism3 and piezochromism4 have been reported for isolated examples. Solvatochromism, the dependence of the absorption spectrum upon the nature of the solvent, is known for π-conjugated polymers in the polyacetylene5 and polythiophene6 families, but among polysilanes solvatochromism has been reported only for poly-[bis (p-alkoxyphenyl) silenes], 7 which have two absorption maxima, the longer-wavelength band becoming more intense in polar solvents.
