The synthesis of conjugated copolymers based on poly­(fluorene vinylene) [PFV] and poly­(fluorene vinylene-co-carbazole vinylene) [PFVCV] was achieved via a previously unexplored precursor three-step synthetic route involving the Ramberg–Bäcklund reaction. The resulting π-conjugated (co)­polymers p...
