Abstract
Abstract The synthesis of poly(para-2,5-di-n-hexylphenylene) via the palladium catalysed coupling of 4-bromo-2,5-di-n-hexylbenzeneboronic acid is described. The reaction yields structurally homogeneous products with the highest degrees of polymerization for poly(para-phenylene) derivatives yet recorded, namely DP ∼ 30 . The products are soluble and have been characterized by n.m.r., g.p.c. and osmometry.
