Grafting of Polyfluorene by Surface‐Initiated Suzuki Polycondensation

Abstract

Graft work: The first surface-initiated and site-specific palladium-catalyzed Suzuki polycondensation that allows selective grafting and patterning of semiconducting and emissive poly[9,9-bis(2-ethylhexyl)fluorene] (1) at room temperature is developed (see scheme). The patterning is demonstrated by AFM (see image).
