ABC-type asymmetric star polymers containing a P3HT segment were successfully synthesized by polymer coupling/linking reactions by combining the Kumada catalyst-transfer polymerization and living anionic polymerization for the first time. The synthetic methodology involves the following three stage reactions: (a) the anionic linking reaction between ω-chain-end-functionalized P3HT with a bromobutyl moiety (P3HT-C4-Br) and living anionic PS end-capped with 1-(3-tert-butyldimethylsilyloxymethylphenyl)-1-phenylethylene (1), (b) the transformation reaction of the 3-tert-butyldimethylsilyloxymethylphenyl (TBDMS) moiety at the junction between the P3HT and PS segments into the α-phenyl acrylate (PA) moiety through the hydroxymethylphenyl moiety, and (c) the anionic linking reaction between PA-in-chain-functionalized P3HT-b-PS and living anionic P2VP. Indeed, the well-defined ABC star polymers in which A, B and C are poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT), polystyrene (PS), and poly(2-vinylpyridine) (P2VP), respectively,...
