Moreover, considering industrial scalability, solvents were incorporated into the reaction matrix with TBPA as the initiator, also leading to the successful synthesis of homopolymers (Table , entries 7-9). The resulting polymers were light-yellow solids with a degree of elasticity. These polymers were found to be soluble in a few polar solvents such as N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) upon heating, whereas, they remained insoluble in other common organic solvents such as tetrahydrofuran (THF), dichloromethane (DCM), chloroform, and n-hexane.
