Five-membered aromatic rings containing Group 16 elements (O, S, Se, and Te), also
referred as chalcogenophenes, are ubiquitous building blocks for π-conjugated polymers …

Kumada catalyst‐transfer polycondensation (KCTP) is a new but rapidly developing method
with great potential for the preparation of well‐defined conjugated polymers (CPs). The …

A series of air-stable nickel complexes of the form L2Ni (aryl) X (L= monodentate phosphine,
X= Cl, Br) and LNi (aryl) X (L= bis-phosphine) have been synthesized and are presented as …

Identifying structure formation in semicrystalline conjugated polymers is the fundamental
basis to understand electronic processes in these materials. Although correlations between …

The recent discovery of a living, controlled chain-growth method for synthesizing π-
conjugated polymers has ignited the field and led to the development of many new …

Conjugated polymers have been under active development since the 1970s as the active
material in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs), photovoltaic devices and the emissive …

We report the influence of the active Grignard monomer formation on the end groups and
polydispersity of poly (3-hexylthiophene)(P3HT) for the catalyst transfer polymerization. The …

Nickel-catalyzed chain-growth copolymerizations of thiophene and selenophene derivatives
afforded well-defined π-conjugated copolymers with narrow molecular weight distributions …

Polymerization of 2-chloro-3-substituted thiophenes proceeded with a stoichiometric amount
