The radical bromination of 1,4-diiodo-2,5-dimethylbenzene gives an inseparable 9:1 mixture of 1 and 1-iodo-4-bromo-2,5-bis(bromomethyl)benzene. The monomer synthesis is carried on with this mixture. In the final step, the formation of polymers 5, both the iodine and the bromine substituents are reactive under the coupling conditions utilized.
