Abstract

The synthesis of a wide range of polymers, particularly conjugated polymers, using contemporary metal-mediated coupling and metathesis methodologies is described. Emphasis is directed toward reaction mechanism and scope as well as applications. Examples of metal-mediated reactions discussed include Kumada and Negishi coupling; nickel homocoupling; Stille, Heck, and Sonogashira coupling; and Buchwald–Hartwig aryl amination. Examples of polymers discussed include polythiophene, poly(p-arylene), poly(p-arylenevinylene), poly(p-aryleneethynylene), and polyaniline.
