Popis: A series of 1-chloro-2-arylacetylenes [Cl-CC-Ar, Ar = C6H5 (1), C6H4-p-iPr (2), C6H4-p-OiPr (3), C6H4-p-NHC(O)OtBu (4), and C6H4-o-iPr (5)] were polymerized using (tBu3P)PdMeCl/silver trifluoromethanesulfonate (AgOTf) and MoCl5/SnBu4 catalysts. The corresponding polymers [poly(1)–poly(5)] with weight-average molecular weights of 6,500–690,000 were obtained in 10–91% yields. THF-insoluble parts, presumably high-molecular weight polymers, were formed together with THF-soluble polymers by the Pd-catalyzed polymerization. The Pd catalyst polymerized nonpolar monomers 1 and 2 to give the polymers in yields lower than the Mo catalyst, while the Pd catalyst polymerized polar monomers 3 and 4 to give the corresponding polymers in higher yields. The 1H NMR and UV–vis absorption spectra of the polymers indicated that the cis-contents of the Pd-based polymers were higher than those of the Mo-based polymers, and the conjugation length of the Pd-based polymers was shorter than that of the Mo-based polymers. Pd-based poly(5) emitted fluorescence most strongly among poly(1)–poly(5). © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part A: Polym. Chem. 2016
