• a conjugated main chain and nonlinear optically active (nlo) chromophores in the side chain. DPP was incorporated in the polymers as a sensitizer for charge carrier generation. Some years later, Eldin and coworkers described DPP-containing polymers obtained by radical polymerization of bis-acryloyl

• presence of the anions did not induce significant changes of the emission properties suggesting affinity constants smaller than 103 L/mol. Photo Diels–Alder reactions in the presence of a sensitizer and light have been described [59][60][61][62][63][64]. Therefore flavins 1 and 2 were tested as catalyst

• , such as 2,3,6,7-tetradehydroanthracene (for constructing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons [13][14]) and 2,6,9,10-tetracyanoanthracene (which has been used as sensitizer for organic photoconductors [15]). Results and Discussion In Scheme 1, the reaction pathway is shown, starting from benzene, which is
