C−C Coupling Reactions for the Synthesis of Two‐Dimensional Conjugated Polymers

Abstract Extension of conjugated polymers from 1D to 2D can not only significantly enhance the dissociation of charge and excitons, but also induce other advantages, such as high in‐plane mechanical strength, large specific surface area and porosity, and more active centers. 2D conjugated polymers can be divided into C−C bonded 2D polymers based on C−C coupling reactions, and heteroatomic bonded 2D polymers based on reversible heteroatom coupling reactions. C−C bonded 2D polymers are generally more stable than heteroatomic bonded 2D polymers as the latter bonds are easily hydrolyzed. This Review mainly summarizes C−C coupling reactions that are suitable for synthesizing 2D conjugated polymers, and the properties of these 2D conjugated polymers are also introduced.
