Abstract

This article gives a perspective on various types of catalytic dehydrogenative polymerization reactions (including organic and main group polymers) while introducing “hydrogen-borrowing polymerization” and “acceptorless dehydrogenative polymerization” to this class. Limitations and future opportunities of each method have been discussed.
