Summary
Hydroboration polymerization between diene monomers and 2,4,6-triisopropylphenylborane (tripylborane) gave organoboron main-chain polymers. The polymerization was carried out by adding a diene monomer to a THF solution of tripylborane at room temperature under nitrogen. The obtained polymers were found to be more stable compared with the polymers prepared from thexylborane or mesitylborane.
