Abstract

Triarylbismuthanes bearing a vinyl, formyl, or acetyl group have been prepared in good yield via the directed ligand coupling of oxazoline-substituted tetraarylbismuthonium salts. Radical polymerization of the resulting diaryl(4-vinylphenyl)bismuthanes produced bismuth-containing polystyrenes soluble in organic solvents.
