22. Attempts to prepare F6T2 polyfluorene (2e, Table 1) under these conditions were unsuccessful due to the insoluble nature of this polymer.

24. The unusually high levels of residual bromine in polymers 6-8 may be a result of incomplete polymer endcapping reactions of the bromine end groups with phenylboronic acid.
