Abstract

Ionic liquids (ILs) were used as solvents for the FeCl₃-catalyzed oxidative polymerization of 3-octylthiophene (3OT) for the first time. An excellent yield of 99% was obtained by using 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluoroantimonate. The effect of the IL structure on the oxidative polymerization of 3OT was analyzed by the linear solvation energy relationship equation.
