TLDR
When silvery films of the semiconducting polymer, trans polyacetylene, (CH)x, are exposed to chlorine, bromine, or iodine vapour, uptake of halogen occurs, and the conductivity increases markedly (over seven orders of magnitude in the case of iodine) to give silvery or silvery-black films, some of which have a remarkably high conductivity at room temperature.Abstract:
When silvery films of the semiconducting polymer, trans‘polyacetylene’, (CH)x, are exposed to chlorine, bromine, or iodine vapour, uptake of halogen occurs, and the conductivity increases markedly (over seven orders of magnitude in the case of iodine) to give, depending on the extent of halogenation, silvery or silvery-black films, some of which have a remarkably high conductivity at room temperature.read more

Direct arylation polymerization : a green, streamlining synthetic approach to π-conjugated polymers
Kai Wang,Mingfeng Wang +1 more
TL;DR: In contrast to traditional coupling methods such as Suzuki coupling and Stille coupling, di-rect arylation does not involve tedious preparation of unstable, toxic organometallic reagents as discussed by the authors.

Advances and Challenges in the Synthesis of Poly(p-phenylene vinylene)-Based Polymers
TL;DR: An overview of the current progress in poly(p-phenylene vinylene) (PPV) polymers can be found in this article, where the described synthetic approaches can be divided into four main categories: polymerization of quinodimethane intermediates, metathesis polymerization, nucleophilic polycondensation, and palladium-catalyzed crosscoupling.

The development of conjugated polymers as the cornerstone of organic electronics
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a background from the early days of concerted and focused conjugated polymer research (1970s-1990) to the present, and describe how the tailoring of conjugation polymer structure has now become closely tied to application.
