7,7,8,8-Tetrakis(aryloxycarbonyl)-p-quinodimethanes with bulky aryloxy groups such as benzyloxy (1a), pentafluorobenzyloxy (1b), and both benzyloxy and pentafluorobenzyloxy (1c) were synthesized. We investigated effects of these bulky groups on thermal solid-state polymerization reactivities on the basis of crystal structures of1a–1c. Thermal polymerizations gave 1,6-trans-type stereoregular polymers in quantitative yields in 1 day at 110 °C for1a, 1 day at 150 °C for1b, and 6 days at 110 °C for1c. Their initial crystal shapes were retained in appearance during polymerization to yield solid bundle assemblies of their polymeric chains. X-ray single-crystal structure analysis indicates that their crystals adopt molecular arrangements suitable for one-dimensional polymerization with the 1,6-trans-type addition along one crystallographic axis. Such arrangements led to expansion polymerization of1band contraction one of1c. The resulting stereoregular polymers form less ordered bundle assemblies than those prepared by the conventional topochemical polymerization. In this manner, the bulky aryloxy groups enabled us to observe a close relation between the molecular assembly modes and the polymerization behaviors, providing the first example for proving diversity of thermal solid-state polymerizations.
