Abstract

Poly[3-(butylthio)thiophene] was obtained from 2,5-dibromo-3-(butylthio)thiophene according to the method of Kobayashi. The polymer was characterized as having regioregular head-to-tail (HT) connections with significant extended conjugation length and optical properties, such as solvatochromism and photoluminescence. The polymer is soluble in common organic solvents and can easily form films.
