The synthesis of fluorene‐based π‐conjugated polymers via sequential bromination and Pd‐catalyzed direct arylation polycondensation was demonstrated; the protocol allows dual functionalization of each aromatic monomer in one‐pot fashion. This synthetic protocol afforded the corresponding polymers with high molecular weights in good yields (up to yield 80%, M n 34,500).
