38. The only notable exception being poly(arylene ether nitrile), refs 7 and 8.
39. We include 6-membered heteroaromatic rings in our definition of mPO.
40. Molecular weights for the polymers in this paper are reported in the experimental section of the Supporting Information but are not otherwise discussed because our synthetic optimization focused on yield and not molecular weight. Additionally, the monomers were used as received in varying degrees of purity. See Supporting Information for reported purities.
41. Poly(mPO) 8 precipitates out of solution during the polymerization, and purified 8 is only slightly soluble in DMSO.
42. 1H NMR.
43. See the Supporting Information for full details
44. 1H NMRs and indicate the peak to which each spectrum is referenced. This is necessary because, as shown in Figure S2, significant peak shifting is observed depending on the environment of the polymer.
45. The Mesopore (Varian, Inc.) columns used for Figure 2 and in the Supporting Information have a molecular weight cutoff of 25 kDa. Poly(mPO) 8 is partially above this molecular weight range, and the GPC chromatogram shown in Figure 2 should only be used as a qualitative comparison of the formed oligomers. Analytical GPC was performed to determine the molecular weights of the poly(mPOs) using Vistotek Viscogel columns with a higher molecular weight range (see the Supporting Information for more details). AU analytical GPC traces of poly(mPOs) are monomodal (i.e., the bimodal appearance of some high molecular weight peaks from the Mesopore GPC arises from the molecular weight cutoff of the column).
46. 1H NMR and GPC are otherwise very similar.

51. f values for the syn- vs anti-conformations of 20 and 21 when energy minimized at the MMFF94x level (see the computation data tables for dimers 20 and 21 in the Supporting Information).
52. To simplify the comparison, positional numbering in this section assumes that the carbon atoms bearing halogen atoms in all electrophiles will be numbered positions 1 and 3. Thus, substitution at the 2-position refers to the position between the reactive halogens on the electrophile monomers, irrespective of IUPAC priority weighting.
53. Molecular weights for all polymers are reported in the Supporting Information except poly(mPO) 28, which was not soluble in THF. Previously reported polymers 22 and 23 do not have reported molecular weights.
