Skipping the monomer : A highly efficient reductive aromatization reaction transforms an unconjugated precursor polymer into a high‐molecular‐weight, butadiyne‐linked anthracene homopolymer (see scheme). Photophysical and electrochemical analyses reveal that some of these new materials display remarkable stability in both neutral and doped states and have unusually low intrinsic band gaps.
