Abstract CHAPTER 20 - Chain-growth catalyst-transfer polycondensation (CTP) is a new and rapidly developing polymerization method for reproducible synthesis of well-defined conjugated polymers with controllable molecular weight, polydispersity and end-groups. Ni-catalyzed Kumada CTP and Pd-catalyzed chain-growth Suzuki CTP, were already applied in the synthesis of a number of well-defined electron-rich homopolymers, such as polythiophenes, polyfluorenes, polyphenylenes and polypyrroles. Controlled preparation of many all-conjugated block polymers comprising electron-rich blocks was also reported. Furthermore, CTPs were recently employed in the synthesis of several electron-deficient conjugated polymers and donor–acceptor alternating copolymers. This chapter overviews the most important methods for controlled preparation of conjugated polymers and provides the most typical synthetic protocols. <br /><br />Conjugated polymers are gaining a lot of interest due to their inherent functional properties and applications in plastic electronics. In order to develop new functional polymers researchers need the background information on the synthesis of the different polymer systems. This book will focus on the practical preparation of conjugated polymers with each chapter discussing a particular type of conjugated polymer including a general explanation of the polymer, experimental details for synthesis and characterization. Edited by world leading experts in the field of conjugated polymer synthesis, the book serves as a convenient guide for advanced undergraduate level and above. <br /><br />Conjugated Polymers : A Practical Guide to Synthesis<br />ISBN 978-1-84973-799-9
