Abstract
AbstractWe have developed a highly efficient new method for the introduction of Lewis acidic boron centers into the side chains of organic polymers. Our methodology involves three steps: (i) the controlled polymerization of a functional monomer, (ii) the exchange of the functional group for Lewis acidic boron centers, and (iii) the fine‐tuning of the Lewis acidity of the individual centers through substituent exchange reactions with nucleophiles. This approach gives access to a family of new well‐defined organoboron polymers including moderately Lewis acidic poly(arylboronates) and the first examples of highly Lewis acidic fluorinated triarylborane polymers.
