A bisphenol monomer bearing pendant propargyloxy group  viz , 1, 1-bis (4-hydoxyphenyl)-1-(4′-propargyloxyphenyl) ethane (BPP) was synthesized starting from commercially available 1, 1, 1-tris (4-hydroxyphenyl) ethane (THPE) by mono O-propargylation reaction using propargyl bromide. A new series of pendant propargyloxy-functionalized aromatic (co)polycarbonates was synthesized by low-temperature solution polycondensation of BPP or different molar ratios of BPP and bisphenol-A with triphosgene in dichloromethane in the presence of triethylamine. The formation of reasonably high molecular weight (co)polycarbonates was confirmed by inherent viscosity (0.52–0.83 dL/g) and gel permeation chromatography (M n  37,000–69,800 g/mol, polystyrene standards) measurements.  13 C NMR spectral studies supported formation of random copolycarbonates in copolymerization of BPP and BPA with triphosgene. The 10% weight loss temperature (T 10 ) values of (co)polycarbonates, determined by thermogravimetric analysis under nitrogen atmosphere, were in the range 427–438 °C indicating their good thermal stability. The glass transition temperature (T g ) values of (co)polycarbonates were observed in the range 147–152 °C. The crosslinking ability of (co)polycarbonates involving pendant propargyloxy groups leading to formation of networked structure was evaluated  via  non-isothermal curing studies by DSC. As a proof-of-concept, the post-modification of a representative polycarbonate bearing pendant propargyloxy groups with 1-octane thiol as a model compound  via  thiol-yne click reaction was briefly studied.
