In an earlier investigation by the author [1] an emulsion polymerization was used to prepare the products of the current invention using dichlorobis(triphe-nylphosphine) palladium(II) as the Suzuki catalyst. 

Suzuki polymerization of 9,9-di-n-octylfluorene-2,7-di(ethyleneborate) diester, (1), with a biphenyl, (II), or triphenylamine derivative, (III), was used by
