A nickel(0) complex (Ni‐bpy) promoted dehalogenative polycondensation of 4,7‐dibromo‐2‐hexylbenzotriazole gives the new π‐conjugated polymer, polybenzotriazole [P(BTz)]. Palladium‐triphenylphosphine [Pd(PPh 3 ) 4 ] catalyzed the copolymerization between 4,7‐dibromo‐2‐hexylbenzotriazole with 2,5‐diethynyl‐1,4‐dihexyloxybenzene and 9,9′‐dihexylfluorene‐2,7‐bis(trimethylene borate) to give the corresponding polymers P(BTz‐AE) and P(BTz‐F), respectively. The number average molecular weights, M n , of the polymers ranged from 3000 to 7400. P(BTz‐AE) showed a photoluminescence (PL) peak at 500 nm in CHCl 3 with a high quantum yield of PL (87%).
