Front Cover : Well‐defined poly( p ‐phenylene) (PPP) is successfully synthesized by Negishi catalyst‐transfer polycondensation (NCTP) using t Bu 4 ZnLi 2 . The PPP samples possess molecular weight values in the range of 2100–22 000 and molar mass dispersity values in the range of 1.09–1.23. Additionally, block copolymers, PPP‐ b ‐poly(3‐hexylthiophene), are synthesized to confirm the feasibility of chain extension between the different monomers based on NCTP.
