The palladium‐catalyzed CS cross coupling reaction is investigated as a novel efficient tool for the synthesis of poly(phenyl)sulfide derivatives. The reaction proceeds through the polycondensation of dibromo arenes with a H 2 S‐surrogate to yield poly(aryl)sulfides. The reaction is generalized by the synthesis of so‐far‐unprecedented poly(2,5‐thiophene)sulfide. Number average molecular weights ( M sss ) of up to 3780 and 1770 g mol −1 for poly(phenyl)sulfide and poly(thiophene)sulfide are achieved with degrees of polymerization (DP n ) of 10 and 7, respectively. A mechanism for the new polycondensation reaction is suggested.
