Why is it important?

Monomers containing a carbon-carbon double bond did not undergo catalyst-tansfer condensatin polymerization, affording PPV with broad molecular wight distribution.

Perspectives

The reason why monomers containing a carbon-carbon double bond do not undergo catalyst-tansfer condensatin polymerization was clarified by the following our report: J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2015, 137 (17) 5682-5685.
