title: Oligo(fluorenyleneethynylenegermylene)s and their metallopolymers.
abstract: Oligo(fluorenyleneethynylenegermylene)s and their polyplatinynes are synthesized and photophysically characterized; inclusion of heavy germylene bridges greatly boosts the phosphorescence decay rate in metallopolymers.
