Abstract
Soluble main chain phenylene polymers and oligomers are much less well studied than their intractable relative poly(p‐Phenylene). This review considers the synthesis and properties of poly(o‐phenylene)s, poly(m‐phenylene)s, and substituted polyphenylenes with alkyle‐, aryl‐, carbonyle‐, nitro‐, halo‐, fused aromatic, and ladder containing substituents, together with related compounds. The figure shows a planar polyphenylene derivative that can be obtained as a flexible free‐standing film. magnified imageKeywords
