title: Iron-catalyzed dehydropolymerization: a convenient route to poly(phosphinoboranes) with molecular-weight control.
abstract: The catalyst loading is the key to control the molecular weight of the polymer in the iron-catalyzed dehydropolymerization of phosphine-borane adducts. Studies showed that the reaction proceeds through a chain-growth coordination-insertion mechanism.
