Polydiacetylenes (PDAs)Alignment observed in organized states: solid states, films, and liposomes. Can only occur with proper geometry and spacing. Once polymerized, PDAs can be changed from a planar to nonplanar state when certain stresses are placed on it.
StressThe planar blue form has unbroken -electron overlap and a full conjugation length. In the nonplanar red form -electron overlap is reduced and conjugation length is decreased

Differences in PCDA-Salts
PCDA-Li: Blue Purple Red Back to PurplePCDA-K: Purple Red Orange Back to Purple
PCDA-Cs: Dark Purple Orange Red Dark Red Orange and Purple
PCDA-Salts cont.
Note: Pure PCDA red and blue form shifted in triple bond region
PCDAPCDA-KNote: PCDA has a distinct peaks while heat and cooling where PCDA-K contains several significant peaks
Conclusion
PCDA interacts with alkali Metals to for a complex with the alkali ions.Alkali ions change the flexibility of the structured PCDA moleculesWhere do we go from here?
