In this work, the preparation of head-to-tail regioregular poly(6-(1-tridecenyl)-pyridine-2,5-diyl) ( PPy ) and its post-functionalization via hydroboration is described. PPy has been prepared via Kumada-coupling polycondensation with different catalytic systems. Numberaverage molecular weights of up to M n = 14.7 kDa (PDI = 2.0, DP n = 60) can be obtained, as determined by gel permeation chromatography relative to polystyrene standards. PPy has been characterized by MALDI-TOF MS, optical spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammetry. The regioregularity of the material is confi rmed by comparison with a head-to-head-tail-to-tail regioregular polybipyridine ( PBPy , M n = 14.0 kDa, PDI = 1.5, DP n = 29). The 1-alkenyl-substituents in PPy have been introduced to provide functional groups for post-functionalization. Herein, it is also demonstrated that these internal double-bonds are suffi ciently reactive to allow for hydroboration with 9 H -borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (9 H -BBN), to furnish an intermediate borylated polymer ( PPyHB ). Treatment of PPyHB with strong acids, and characterization of the deborylated polymer PPyH 2 proves quantitative conversion of the precursor polymer.
