A bis(trifluoroborate) of 2-alkylbenzotriazole was prepared successfully and copolymerized with dibromobenzothiadiazole in the presence of a Pd catalyst and LiOH, yielding high molecular weight conjugated polymers. This polymer composed of all electron-accepting units shows excellent electron-transport properties (μe = 0.02 cm2 V–1 s–1). BACKGROUND Palladium-mediated carbon–carbon coupling reactions are extraordinarily powerful methods which enable the synthesis of diverse compounds from biologically active molecules to π-conjugated polymers . the Suzuki polycondensation reactions employing dihaloarenes and aryl diboronic acids (or esters) have made significant contributions to the progress of organic electronics by supplying it with high-performance organic semiconductors. Syntheses of the majority of these polymers are achieved through alternating copolymerizations o
