“In-water” direct arylation polymerization (DArP) under aerobic emulsion conditions

Abstract

Despite limited reports employing sustainable solvents for Direct Arylation Polymerization (DArP), the large amount of organic waste generated from conjugated polymer synthesis requires attention. Herein, we report the first emulsion-DArP methodology to afford polymers with molecular weights up to 14.5 kg mol−1 with a 10-fold reduction of organic solvent utilized.
