1. A composition of matter comprising a polymer of the general structure:

  • embedded imagewherein the R1 substituents are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl groups, alkoxy groups, and aryl groups;

    the R2 substituents are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl groups, alkoxy groups, and aryl groups;

    the R3 substituents are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl groups, alkoxy groups, and aryl groups;

    the R4 substituents are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl groups, alkoxy groups, and aryl groups;

    wherein bonds A and B may be either ortho or para with respect to the pyridyl nitrogen;

    wherein bonds C and D may independently be either ortho, meta or para with respect one another;

    wherein bonds E and F may be either ortho, meta or para with respect one another;

    wherein bonds G and H may be either ortho, meta or para with respect one another;

    wherein Y may be a moiety selected from the group consisting of —

    (CH2)x

    , —

    (CH2)xO—

    , —

    O(CH2)x— and



    O(CH2)xO—

    wherein x is an integer in the range of 1 to 15 inclusive;

    wherein Z may be a moiety selected from the group consisting of —

    (CH2)x

    , —

    (CH2)xO—

    , —

    O(CH2)x— and



    O(CH2)xO—

    wherein x is an integer in the range of 1 to 15 inclusive; and

    wherein n is an integer greater than 1.
