Reaction catalysts Suzuki polycondensation

PPVs are accessible by polycondensation methods based on transition metal-catalyzed cross-coupling processes. Several individual reactions are known. For example, using palladium catalysts, divinylbenzene yields with diiodobenzene derivates directly from PPV derivates. Another reaction, the Suzuki coupling, uses 1,4-aryldiboron acids and 1,2-dibromo-ethene with palladium catalysts to arrive at PPV. 

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." ... 

Almost all Suzuki polycondensations published to date in the literature use 1-3 mol% of catalyst, mostly Pd[P(p-tolyl)3]3, Pd(PPh3)4 or in situ prepared Pd[P(o-tolyl)3]2. Most catalysts for the Suzuki polycondensation employ tri-arylphosphine ligands. New ligands, which include Buchwald s biaryl-based phosphines, Beller s diadamantyl phosphines, Fu s tri(tert-butyl)phos-phine, and Hartwig s pentaphenylated ferrocenyl phosphines, have been developed for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions. Buchwald-type ligand has been applied to polymerize dichloro monomers using Suzuki polycondensation.
