Chain‐growth polymerization of aromatic building blocks (termed catalyst‐transfer
polycondensation or CTP) has emerged as a powerful method for the controlled synthesis of …

This article features recent advances in the synthesis of conjugated polymers via a
controlled polymerization. These polymerizations typically rely on transition metal catalyzed …

Organic semiconducting materials derived from π-electron-rich pyrroles have garnered
attention in recent years for the development of organic semiconductors. Although pyrrole is …

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 …

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 …

The synthesis and characterization of the air-stable nickel (II) complex trans-(PCy2Ph) 2Ni (o-
tolyl) Cl is described in conjunction with an investigation of its use for the Mizoroki–Heck …

Ring walking is an important mechanistic phenomenon leveraged in many catalytic CC
bond forming reactions. However, ring walking has been scarcely studied under Buchwald …

Two borane-functionalized bidentate phosphine ligands that vary in tether length have been
prepared to examine cooperative metal–substrate interactions. Ni (0) complexes react with …

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

Conjugated, semiconducting fluorene copolymers are a major class of materials for organic
light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and photovoltaic (PV) applications. 1, 2 These materials are …
