When the linker for connecting two silyl hydrides is different from that for two alkyne motifs, hydrosilylation reaction will give the corresponding AB-type copolymer. The reactivity of alkynes can be manipulated by using different protective groups. This kind of strategy would enable us to assemble a range of linkers in regioregular manner or sequence-controlled tactic. In this account, we summarize our synthetic endeavors on the use of rhodium-catalyzed hydrosilylation reaction to incorporate different kinds and/or numbers of chromophores arranged regioselectively on the polymeric backbone. The photophysical properties such as those arising from the ground state interactions, fluorescence resonance energy transfer, photoinduced electron transfer, light-harvesting, or a combination thereof have been systematically examined. These data may offer useful clues on the folding behavior of these silicon-containing polymers.fluorescece resonance energy transfer; hydrosilylation; light harvesting; photoinduced electron transfer; sequence controlled polyerizatoin; Thorpe-Ingold effect; PHOTOINDUCED ELECTRON-TRANSFER; DONOR-ACCEPTOR COPOLYMERS; ALTERNATING DONOR; ENERGY-TRANSFER; FUNCTIONAL POLYMERS; THORPE; LADDERPHANES; CATALYSISreview10.1002/jccs.2022002172-s2.0-85133319274WOS:000820300600001https://api.elsevier.com/content/abstract/scopus_id/85133319274
