To examine whether catalyst-transfer polycondensation, which affords well-defined polythiophenes, has generality for other conjugated polymers, the synthesis of poly(p-phenylene) (PPP) with various Ni catalysts was investigated. Monomer1, 1-bromo-4-chloromagnesio-2,5-dihexyloxybenzene, was polymerized with Ni(dppe)Cl2in the presence of equimolar LiCl to give PPP with a narrow polydispersity. The number-average molecular weight (Mn) of PPP thus obtained increased in proportion to the conversion of1, indicating that this polymerization also proceeded in a chain-growth polymerization manner. Furthermore, the molecular weight of PPP was controlled by the feed ratio of1to the Ni catalyst up to at leastMn= 30000.
