Fig. S44-55: FT-IR, 1 H, 31 P NMR and UV-vis spectra of the polymers of 2c-e S3- S35 Instruments. The 1 H, 13 C and 31 P NMR spectra were recorded using a Bruker 4 and 6 MHz {H} spectrometer. Size exclusion chromatography (SEC) was performed on Waters 1515 pump and 2414 differential refractive index (RI) detector (set at 4 C) using a series of linear Styragel HR1, HR2 and HR4 columns. Molecular weight and polydispersity data are reported relative to polystyrene standards. The eluent was tetrahydrofuran (THF) at a flow rate of.3 ml/min. FT-IR spectra were recorded on Perkin- Elmer Spectrum BX FT-IR system using KBr pellets. UV-vis spectra were performed on a UNIC 482 UV/VIS double beam spectrophotometer in 1. cm length quartz cell. Melting points were obtained with a Mel-Temp apparatus and are uncorrected. X-ray diffraction data of single crystals were collected on a Siemens Smart 1 CCD diffractometer. The determination of unit cell parameters and data collections were performed with Mo-Ka radiation (l =.7173 Å). Unit cell dimensions were obtained with leastsquares refinements and all structures were solved by direct methods using SHELXS-97. The other nonhydrogen atoms were located in successive difference Fourier syntheses. The final refinement was performed using full-matrix least-squares methods with anisotropic thermal parameters for nonhydrogen atoms on F2. The hydrogen atoms were added theoretically and riding on the concerned atoms. Materials All solvents were purified by the standard procedures before use. THF was further dried over sodium S3
benzophenone ketyl, distilled onto LiAlH 4 under nitrogen, and distilled under high vacuum just before use. 4-Ethynyltoluene, 4-ethynylanisole, 1-ethynylbenzene, 4-(methoxycarbonyl)phenylacetylene, ethynyltrimethylsilane, trans-dichlorobis(triethylphosphine)palladium(ii) and copper(i) chloride were purchased from Aladdin and Sigma-Aldrich, and were used as received without further purification. Isocyanide monomer 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d, 2e, and 2f were prepared according to the literatures and the structures were confirmed by 1 H NMR. 1 Synthetic procedure for 1a-d 1a PEt 3 Pd Cl PEt 3 Synthesis of 1a. This Pd complex was prepared according to the reported procedure. 2 4- Ethynyltoluene (5. mg,.43 mmol) was treated with trans-dichlorobis(triethylphosphine)palladium (178. mg,.43 mmol) in the presence of copper(i) chloride (2.5 mg,.25 mmol) as catalyst in 3 ml of diethylamine and dichloromethane (v/v = 1/1). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 h. After the solvent was removed by evaporation under reduced pressure, the residue was purified by chromatography with petrol ether-ethyl acetate (1/1, v/v) as eluent. The crude product was recrystallized from petrol ether and methanol to afford 1a as a white solid (127 mg, 6% yield). 1 H NMR (4 MHz, CDCl 3, 25 C): 7.16 (d, J = 8.8 Hz, 2H, aromatic), 7.3 (d, J = 8.8 Hz, 2H, aromatic), 2.31 (s, 3H, CH 3 Ph), 2. 1.95 (m, 12H, PCH 2 CH 3 ), 1.24 1.16 (m, 18H, PCH 2 CH 3 ). 13 C NMR (1 MHz, CDCl 3, 25 C): 135.45, 13.58, 128.86, 124.89, 16.42, 93.59, 21.35, 15.46, 8.4. 31 P NMR (121.5 MHz, CDCl 3, 25 C): 17.85.

Typical Polymerization Procedure of 1a d with 2a (poly-a2a 1 ): A 1 ml oven-dried flask was charged with monomer 2a (5. mg,.17 mmol), THF (.87 ml) and a stir bar. To this stirring solution was added a solution of 1a in THF (.17 M,.1 ml) via a microsyringe at ambient temperature. The concentrations of monomer 2a and initiator 1a were.2 and.2 M, respectively ([2a] /[1a] = 1). The reaction flask was then immersed into an oil bath at 55 C and stirred for 1 h. After cooled to room temperature, the polymerization solution was precipitated into a large amount of methanol, collected by centrifugation, and dried in vacuum at room temperature overnight to give poly-a2a 1 (45. mg, 91% yield).

Typical Procedure Used to Grow Poly(phenyl isocyanide)s of Various Molecular Weights from Palladium Complex 1a d. Various amounts of palladium complex 1a in THF ([1a] =.2 M) were added via a microsyringe to a series solutions of isocyanide monomer 2a (5. mg,.17mmol) in THF. The concentration of 2a was.2 M. The initial feed ratios of 2a to 1a were 25, 4, 55, 7, 85, and 1, S6
respectively. Each of the reaction mixtures were then stirred for 1 h at 55 C and quenched by the addition of a large amount of methanol, collected by centrifugation, washed with methanol, and dried under vacuum to afford the expected polymers. The M n and M w /M n of these polymers were characterized by SEC (Fig. 1a in maintext). Typical Kinetic Study of the Polymerization of 2a with 1a-d. A mixture of 2a (1. mg,.35 mmol) and a standard polystyrene (M n = 263, 5. mg for 1a, and 1c, 4. mg for 1b, and 1d) were placed in a dry ampule, and dry THF (1.36 ml) was added by a syringe. To this was added a solution of 1a in THF (15 μm,.39 ml) via a microsyringe at ambient temperature. The concentrations of 1a and 2a were.33 and.2 M, respectively. The mixture was then heated to 55 C ([2a] =.2 M, [2a] /[1a] = 6). The conversion of 2a was followed by measuring the SEC of the reaction mixture at appropriate time intervals. The peak area of the unreacted 2a relative to that of the internal standard (PSt) was used for the determination of the conversion of 2a on the basis of the linear calibration curve. The M n and M w /M n were estimated by SEC and reported as equivalent to standard polystyrene. References 1. (a) Y.-X. Xue, Y.-Y. Zhu, L.-M. Gao, X.-Y. He, N. Liu, W.-Y. Zhang, J. Yin, Y.-S.
