Abstract
A new route for the synthesis of soluble poly(aryl alkyl ketone)s was devel oped employing the cross-coupling reaction of an aryl dihalide and a diketo ne Iii the presence of a palladium complex and a sterically bulky phosphane . The solubility of the polymer can be controlled via the alpha -substituen t next to the carbonyl group. The polyketone can be converted easily to a c onjugated polymer upon treatment with a silylation agent.
