ABSTRACTA new synthetic method is developed to incorporate efficient nonlinear optical chromophores containing thiophene conjugating units and tricyanovinyl acceptors into side-chain polymers. This approach emphasizes the incorporation of the tricyanovinyl groups into the pendant side chains after the desired polymer is formed.
