Abstrakt: An amphiphilic block copolymer of polyphosphinoborane has been prepared by a mechanism‐led strategy of the sequential catalytic dehydropolymerization of precursor monomers, H3B ⋅ PRH2 (R=Ph, n‐hexyl), using the simple pre‐catalyst [Rh(Ph2PCH2CH2PPh2)2]Cl. Speciation, mechanism and polymer chain growth studies support a step‐growth process where reversible chain transfer occurs, i.e. H3B ⋅ PRH2/oligomer/polymer can all coordinate with, and be activated by, the catalyst. Block copolymer [H2BPPhH]110‐b‐[H2BP(n‐hexyl)H]11 can be synthesized and self‐assembles in solution to form either rod‐like micelles or vesicles depending on solvent polarity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
