Significance

The authors report a five-step synthesis of an indenoindene monomer (6), which they then homopolymerize to form polymer 7. In addition to the homopolymer, they form a series of copolymers using Suzuki polymerization. The photophysical and electronic properties of the polymers are discussed.
