Nickel(0)-mediated coupling polymerizations via microwave-assisted chemistry
Abstract
An overview is given on the synthesis of poly-2,7-fluorenes from the Ni(0)-mediated condensation polymerization of 2,7-dibromo-9,9-dihexylfluorene (DHF) utilizing microwave heating. The ease of the technique coupled with its high speed and high conversion makes it a valuable tool for the synthesis of macromolecules.
