abstract = "Controlled Pd(0)/t-Bu 3P-catalyzed Suzuki cross-coupling polymerizations of AB-type monomers via the chain-growth mechanism with an ArPd(t-Bu 3P)I complex as the initiator are described. ArPd(t-Bu 3P)I complexes, either prepurified or generated in situ from Pd 2(dba) 3/t-Bu 3P/ArI (dba = dibenzylideneacetone) without separation/purification, were found to be efficient initiators in general for the controlled Suzuki cross-coupling polymerization, with narrow polydispersity indexes (PDIs) of 1.13-1.35 being observed. The Pd 2(dba) 3/t-Bu 3P/p-BrC 6H 4I combination was identified as a highly robust initiator system, with PDIs of ≤1.20 in general and as low as 1.13 being obtained. Higher number-average molecular weights (M n) were achieved without a significant increase in the PDI (from 1.14 for a polymer with a M n = 9500 to 1.20 for a polymer with M n = 31 400) by using a smaller amount of the Pd 2(dba) 3/t-Bu 3P/p-BrC 6H 4I initiator in the polymerization.",
