Abstract

This Minireview details the current state-of-the-art relating to (co)polymerizations mediated by well-defined Rh^I -ethynyl, vinyl, and aryl complexes. In particular, we focus on Rh^I species suitable for the (co)polymerization of phenylacetylenes, arylisocyanides, as well as propargyl esters and amides.

Keywords: arylisocyanides; controlled polymerization; polyphenylacetylenes; rhodium complexes; stereoregularity.
