Conjugated polymers are less expensive than inorganic materials and are easy to process, hence several synthetic methods have been developed based on transition metal-catalyzed polycondensation involving sp2 -sp2 C-C bond formation for their production. The coupling reaction between monomers involves the following steps: (a) metal-catalyzed oxidative addition (as presented in Chapter 1) across the C-X bond of the monomer; (b) transmetallation with a main group organometallic compound; and (c) reductive elimination (as presented in Chapter 1) yielding the C-C bond formation and regeneration of the active catalyst, which are typical in a C-C bond formation catalyzed by organometallic complex (Figure 7.1). 1 The reactions are characterized by mild conditions, tolerance to many functional groups, and possibility of synthesizing regioregular polymers.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Metal-catalyzed condensation polymerization</style></section></record></records></xml>
