title: Catalysts for suzuki polycondensation: ionic and "quasi-ionic" amphipathic palladium complexes with self-phase-transfer features.
abstract: Poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene) (PFO) with M(n) values above 100,000 g mol(-1) in a toluene/water system and M(n) values up to 600,000 g mol(-1) in a THF/water system has been obtained by improved Suzuki polycondensation using a new kind of amphipathic palladium catalyst with self-phase-transfer features, which could overcome the disadvantage caused by the immiscible biphasic mixture and accelerate the transmetalation step.
