Identifying the missing link in catalyst transfer polymerization
The mechanism for nickel-catalyzed catalyst transfer polycondensation of thiophenes to polythiophenes. Here the authors show experimental and computational evidence of structurally characterized square planar η 2-Ni(0)–thiophene species and their relevance to the mechanism of catalyst transfer polyc...
