Pd-mediated copolymerization of bifunctional diazocarbonyl compounds, 1,1 0 -bis(diazoacetyl)ferrocene 2, 4,4 0 -bis(diazoacetyl)biphenyl 5, and bis(4-diazoacetylphenyl)dimethylsilane 6, with monofunctional diazoketones, (E)-1-diazo-3-nonen-2-one 3 and (E)-1-diazo-4-phenyl-3-buten-2-one 4, and ethyl diazoacetate 7 was examined in order to prepare a new type of crosslinked polymer. Although copolymerization of 2 with 3 and 4 proceeded in the presence of PdCl 2 (MeCN) 2 , the products were soluble in CHCl 3 and their M n s were rather low irrespective of the feed ratio of the comonomers, probably because of the occurrence of intramolecular cyclization of two diazoacetyl groups in 2. On the other hand, copolymerization of 5 and 6 with 3, 4, and 7 with relatively high feed ratios of the bifunctional monomers afforded products insoluble in CHCl 3 , which suggested the formation of crosslinked polymers. In addition, Pd-mediated (co)polymerization of monofunctional diazoacetylferrocene 1, monofunctional counterpart to 2, was examined, resulting in the formation of a new type of ferrocene-containing polymer.KEY WORDS: Copolymerization / Crosslinking / Network Polymer / Bis(diazocarbonyl) Compound / Recently, we and other groups have been developing polymerization of diazocarbonyl compounds, that can afford a new type of C-C main chain polymer bearing carbonylcontaining substitutents on its all the main chain carbon atoms. Cu-, 1 Pd-, 2 Rh-, 3,4 and B-mediated 5 polymerization and oligomerization have been reported for alkyl diazoacetate, which is the most common type of diazocarbonyl compound.
