Novel structural units for electropolymerizable compounds: pyrimidiniumolate-functionalized thiophenes¹

Abstract

The synthesis of pyrimidiniumolates with a thiophene unit (3a–c) is reported. The electrooxidation of 3a leads to a conductive polymer. Some quantum chemical data for 3a–c and the parent system 5 are given [semiempirical calculations (AM1, PM3), ab initio data and density functional theoretical results].
