Polymerization reactions Suzuki polycondensation , polymer

The Suzuki reaction shares many common similarities and features with aforementioned Stille reaction, such as similar catalytic cycles and Pd-based catalysts, and wide tolerance of functionalities. Highlighted below are a few notable factors one needs to consider when choosing Suzuki polymerization to prepare D A polymers. Interested readers are referred to a more general review for details on Suzuki polycondensation." ... 

Fluoro-substituted silole-containing polymers were recently prepared by Suzuki polycondensation reaction using 2,5-dihydroxyboryl-l,l-dimethyl-3,4-bis(3-fluorophenyl)-silole or l,3-dibromo-5-fluoro-benzene as fluoro-containing monomers and 2,7-dibromo-9,9-dioctyl-fluorene or 2,5-dihydroxyboryl-l,l-dimethyl-3,4-bis(phenyl)-silole as co-monomers [221]. With a polymerization... 

While A-B-A with composed alkylene dioxythiophene monomeric A units can be polymerized oxidatively to the corresponding polymer, linear (AB) and star branched polymers have to be made by organometallic reactions due to a low reactivity of the B unit. (AB) polymers with EDOT as the A unit and phenylene (Vlf) as well as fluorene (Vlg) structures as the B unit were synthesized by Suzuki polycondensation and show electrochromic behavior without any conspicuous properties. On the other hand, hyperbranched polymers with an additional triarylaminic core unit and similar composed branches made from 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene and didodecyloxybenzene structures exhibited multicolor electrochromism to produce the three basic colors in the RGB system red, green, and blue.
