A click by any other name : Coupling bis(N‐heterocyclic carbene)s with bis(azide)s afforded a novel class of conjugated polytriazenes. These polymers were rendered electrically conductive upon doping, and fluorene‐containing variants exhibited luminescence. This adaptation of N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC)/azide coupling chemistry to polymer synthesis reveals the potential of NHCs as building blocks for accessing polymers having useful electronic properties.
