Lipase catalyzed the ring-opening polymerization of medium-size lactones, d-valerolactone (<5-VL, six-membered) and -caprolactone (c-CL, seven-mem-bered). Lipases CC, PF and PPL showed high catalytic activity for the polymerization of <5-VL [74,75]. The molecular weight of the polymer obtained in bulk at 60 °C was relatively low (less than 2000). 

Lahti and coworkers [212] reported a series of meta-linked oligo(phenylene vinylene) block copolymers 181a-c. A mem-linked phenylene unit imposed an additional hypsochromic shift on the emission of these segmented polymers. The PL maxima were found at 399-416 nm, but a significant (ca. 70 nm) red shift was observed for EL spectra (ITO/polymer/Ca/Al) (Chart 2.39).

Table 3 lists PAEs containing Si, Fe, and B. Silole containing Si in the five-mem-bered ring [157] has a low transition energy because of its low LUMO level [158], and its homopolymers have been prepared [159, 160]. 2,5-Dili-thiosiloles, which can be prepared by the ring-closing reaction of diethynyl-silane, serve as starting materials for various 2,5-disubstituted siloles such as 2,5-dibromosiloles and 2,5-di(trialkylstannyl)siloles [161,162]. PAEs with the silole ring have been reported as shown in Nos. 1-4 in Table 3. PAE-type polymers with Si atoms in the main chain have also been prepared (Nos. 12-16), and their optical properties including photoconductivity have been revealed [155,156].
