Synthesis and Properties of Polymer Having Electronegative Terthiophene Pendants Based on Cyclopenta[c]thiophene
We have designed a new pendant-type polymer having an electronegative terthiophene at pendant positions. This polymer was successfully synthesized by the combination of Stille coupling reaction and palladium-catalyzed cyclopolymerization. To investigate the properties of the polymer, electronic absorption and fluorescence spectra as well as cyclic voltammogram were measured.
