Graphical Abstract
PC bonds mimic CC bonds in the radical-initiated copolymerization of a phosphaalkene 1 and styrene (see scheme). The resulting copolymers 2 have unprecedented phosphine-containing backbones with phosphorus compositions that vary depending on the monomer ratios. These novel functional hybrid inorganic–organic macromolecules are used as polymeric supports for the Pd-catalyzed Suzuki coupling. VAZO=1,1′-azobis(cyclohexanecarbonitrile).

- 9The ratio of (aryl H):(alkyl H) for the two monomer units (i.e. 1 and styrene) in the 1H NMR spectrum is not very sensitive to large changes in the % incorporation of 1 into the copolymer 3. Therefore, we have found that 1H NMR spectroscopy does not give an accurate measure of the phosphaalkene content. For example, a polymer consisting entirely of the methylenephosphine unit would show a (aryl H):(alkyl H) ratio of 1.33 (i.e. 12 H/9 H), whereas the ratio for polystyrene would be 1.66 (5 H/3 H).

- 14There are two possible explanations for the low catalytic activity observed with 2. One possibility is that steric bulk around the phosphorus center in 2 hinders coordination to Pd. A second possibility is that the high phosphorus density in 2 leads to multidentate coordination to Pd, thus rendering it inaccessible to substrates and inactive.
