Outline of Final Research Achievements

Recently we reported that the polymerization of aryne which has a distorted triple bond in the aromatic ring, and is a highly reactive intermediate proceeds to afford poly(ortho-phenylene)s. In this work, I investigated aryne polymerization with living fashion. It was found that the polymerization gave resultant polymers with narrow polydispersity index when organic fluoride sources, or a combination of inorganic fluoride sources and NHC copper catalyst were used. On the other hand, the polymerization with multifunctional monomer gave microporous materials with gas absorption and desorption ability.
