DPP-Sn (0.85 g, 1 mmol), DPP-Br (0.39 g, 0.5 mmol), fluorine-based monomer 1 (0.29 g, 0.5 mM), bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II) dichloride (7.1 mg, 0.01 mmol), and 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol (4.2 mg, 0.02 mmol) were mixed in a 10 mL Schlenk flask. Next, 3 mL of toluene and a stirring bar were added. The mixture was subjected to three freeze–pump–thaw cycles before being filled with argon. Then, the flask was heated to 100 °C under vigorous stirring for 6 h. After the reaction, the green solution was dropwisely added to excess methanol to precipitate out solid crude product. The product was collected by filtration and purified by re-dissolving into tetrahydrofuran (THF) and precipitating with excess methanol. After repeating this purification process three times, the final SPB-Br polymer was obtained (1.22 g, yield: 80%).
