Highly regioregular poly(3-alkylthiophenes): a new synthetic route and characterization of the resulting polymers

Abstract

We have recently synthesized a series of poly(3-alkylthiophenes) with a new simple procedure which has allowed to prepare 96–100% regioregular polymers. This work describes this synthetic pathway and reports the characterization of a poly(3-alkylthiophene) series obtained through this method.
