Abstract
Bis(3,5-dimethylphenyl) disulfide was subject to photo-oxidation in the presence of 2,3-dicyanonaphthalene as a sensitizer. The photo-redox system enabled efficient formation of poly(thio-2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene) non-contaminated with metal salt at room temperature through the electrophilic reaction of the sulfonium cation produced by the photo-oxidation.
