  1. Reaction conditions: 0.12 mmol of diarylbromide, 0.12 mmol of diarylboronate ester, 2 mL of base solution, 2 mL of toluene, 1 drop of Alliquat 336, and 10 mg of PdNPs/NiNWs catalyst. The reaction was carried out for 1 h. The degree of polymerization was estimated by dividing Mn by monomer mass (0.388 kg/mol).
