• ) which highlights the application of SbCl3 as useful catalyst in this methodology. Furthermore, the application range of the reaction was expanded to fused aromatic rings such as 9H-fluorene and anthracene: 9H-Fluorene-2-carbaldehyde and anthracene-9-carbaldehyde react with N,N-dimethylaniline under the

• ]. The polymers consisted of dialkylated DPP units and carbazole, triphenylamine, benzo[2,1,3]thiadiazole, anthracene, or fluorene units in alternating fashion. They were prepared via Suzuki coupling, from the DPP monomers M-1 or DPP-3,6-diphenyl(4,4´-bis(pinacolato)boron ester. A number of readily
