This solid-state polymerization reaction was speculated to be a “topochemical” and a “topotactic” reaction. In the topochemical polymerization, the reactions progress under structural restraint by the crystal lattice, and so the resultant polymers have highly controlled chemical structures. 5-17 In the topotactic reaction, the daughter crystal is oriented in a three-dimensional, specfic manner with respect to the monomer crystal, that is, the single-crystal-to-single-crystal reaction. The topotactic polymerization of diacetylenes was already known as a typical example. 15-17 In the present case of EMU, the symmetry of the crystal lattice of monomers was speculated to be preserved even after the polymerization reaction and the single-crystalline morphology of the original monomer was actually retained in the polymer product. 1-4 From these characteristic features, the solid-state polymerization of EMU was speculated to be a “topochemical” and a “topotactic” reaction, as mentioned above. The EMU monomer is also important in the sense that the EMU molecule may be assumed to be one of the “normal” organic compounds consisting of “popular” butadiene and ester groups. In other words, a clarification of the polymerization mechanism of the EMU monomer crystal will give us a possibility to widen the research field of the polymerization reaction, which makes it easier to control the bulk structure and the related physical properties of the general polymer substances.Despite such an expectation, however, we had encountered a hard wall which disturbed our effort to clarify the mechanism of the topotactic polymerization reaction of the EMU monomer. This is because the structural change in the polymerization reaction occurs rapidly in a time scale of several tens of minutes under
