Monomer 11:
To a round-bottomed single-necked flask was added 2,7- dibromofluorene (1.62 g, 5 mmol), tert-
butyl 6-bromohexylcarbamate (3.05 g, 11 mmol), sodium hydroxide solution (40%, 25 mL),
Bu4NBr (0.32 g, 1 mmol), and toluene (40 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at 85 °C for 12 h
and worked up. The reaction mixture was then extracted with water. The organic layer was
separated, dried over MgSO4, and concentrated for column chromatography. The crude product was
purified on a silica gel column by eluting with CH2Cl2. The desired fractions were collected and
concentrated to afford 1.88 g (52%) of monomer 1 (white solid). 1H NMR (500Hz, Chloroform-d)

Monomer 22:
A mixture of 2,7-bibromo-9,9-bis(60-butoxylcarbonylaminohexyl) fluorene (1 g, 1.38 mmol),
KOAc (0.9 g, 9.2mmol), bis(pinacolato)diborane (0.78 g, 3.1mmol), Pd(dppf)Cl2 (80 mg,
0.11mmol) in 20mL DMSO was stirred at 80 °C for 12 h. After cooled to room temperature, water
and chloroform were added into the mixture. The separated organic layer was washed with brine,
water and dried over anhydrous MgSO4. After removal of the solvent under reduced pressure, the
residue was purified over column chromatography with petroleum ether/ethyl acetate (3:1) as the
eluent to give Monomer 2 as a white solid (0.6 g, 52%). 1H NMR (500 MHz, Chloroform-d) δ 7.80

2.9 Hz, 4H).
Synthesis of PF8:
2,7-dibromo-9,9-dioctyl-9H-fluorene (546 mg, 1 mmol), 2,2'-(9,9-dioctyl-9H-fluorene-2,7-
diyl)bis(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane) (642 mg, 1 mmol), Pd (PPh 3)4 (44.11 mg, 0.043
mmol) was weighed and degassed. K2CO3 (aq., 2M/L, 5 mL) and 10 mL of toluene were added
under argon protection and the mixture was stirred at 120 °C. for 72 hours. The solution was washed
with water and extracted with dichloromethane to give the crude product after removal of the
solvent. The crude product was dissolved in dichloromethane and precipitated in methanol to give
a gray green solid (0.45 g, yield 57%). 1H NMR (500 MHz, Chloroform-d) δ 7.83 (t, J = 7.1 Hz,
2H), 7.68 (q, J = 13.0, 10.0 Hz, 4H), 2.09 (d, J = 29.9 Hz, 4H), 1.17 (d, J = 33.0 Hz, 20H), 0.82 (dd,

Synthesis of PF6-Boc:
Following the same polymerization procedure as PF8, with monomer 1 (360mg, 0.5 mmol)
and monomer 2 (408 mg, 0.5 mmol). The resulting product was isolated as slightly gray solid ( 338
mg, 60%). H NMR (500 MHz, Chloroform-d) δ 7.85 (t, J = 7.2 Hz, 1H), 7.77 – 7.59 (m, 2H), 4.54
