Abstract
A method of polymerization for the preparation of conjugated polymers and copolymers comprising dioxypyrrole and/or dioxyfuran repeating units involves the halogen, N-haloimide, or N-haloamine promoted polymerization of monomers and/or oligomers comprising one or more dioxypyrrole and/or dioxyfuran units. The polymerization can be carried out over a wide range of temperatures and can be carried out with or without a solvent. The monomers allow the preparation of polymers having an oligomeric repeating unit comprising a conjugated unit other than a dioxypyrrole or dioxyfuran that is bound to two dioxypyrrole or dioxyfuran units.
