POLY(3',4'-DIBUTYL-ALPHA-TERTHIOPHENE-PHENYLENE-VINYLENE) - A NEW SOLUBLE AND DOPABLE PHENYLENE-VINYLENE-BASED CONJUGATED POLYMER

摘要

A new soluble and dopable copolymer consisting of 3',4'-dibutyl-2,2':5',2 ''-terthiophene and phenylene-vinylene units has been designed and prepared via a Wittig reaction. This title copolymer is soluble in common organic solvents such as THF and CHCl3, and can be doped with iodine achieving an electrical conductivity of about 3.2 X 10(-2) S/cm at room temperature. Films of this copolymer are electroactive and turn reversibly and rapidly from red to green-blue upon doping and undoping electrochemically. [References: 41]
