Dk. Wang et Z. Wu, New polymerization catalyzed by palladium complexes: synthesis of poly(p-phenylenevinylene) derivatives, CHEM COMMUN, (6), 1999, pp. 529-530
Palladium complexes are found to catalyze the condensation polymerization o
f halophenyl alkyl ketones to form polyketones, which can be readily conver
ted to poly(phenylenevinylene) and its derivatives.
