Highly refractive, thermostable, and transparent poly(phenylene sulfide) (PPS) derivatives partially including S=O bonds were reported. The polymers were prepared by m-chloroperbenzoic acid (mCPBA) oxidation of the corresponding PPS derivatives, affording sulfoxide or sulfone-containing polymers with high oxidation selectivity. After the oxidation, the transparency and glass-transition temperature (T-g) of the polymers enhanced while maintaining their high refractive indices (n(D) = 1.66-1.71), owing to the introduction of rigid sulfoxide/sulfone moieties. This bleaching of the bulk films was due to the loss of the lone pairs on the sulfur atom in the sulfide bonds through the formation of the S=O bonds, which led to a smaller conjugation length and weaker absorption in the near-UV region. From the viewpoint of both molar refraction and molecular volume, incorporating the sulfoxide moiety is the best way to enhance transparency and maintain a suitable T-g with a high refractive index.
