New π-conjugated polymers containing tetrathiafulvalene as the monomeric unit

Abstract

Four kinds of poly(arylene)- and poly(aryleneethynylene)-type polymers containing TTF units in the π-conjugated main chain, which are susceptible to chemical and electrochemical oxidation, have been prepared by organometallic polycondensation.
