by the Ni‐catalyzed cross‐coupling reaction of vinyl bromide with the Grignard reagent of 2‐
bromodibenzothiophene. The radical homopolymerization of 1 and the copolymerization
with styrene were carried out at 60° C in toluene (1.0 M) for 20 h using AIBN (5 mol%) as an
initiator to obtain the corresponding polymers in high yields. Thermal analyses of the
copolymers showed that both 10% weight loss and glass transition temperatures increase …
