Synthesis of Poly[(3-(6-(9-anthracenylmethoxy)‎hexyl)‎thiophene)‎-co-(3-(6-bromohexyl)‎thiophene)‎] Postfunctionalized from Poly(3-(6-bromohexyl)‎thiophene)‎ : A Comparative Study of the Base Polymer with Its Chlorinated Analogous

Abstract EN

A synthetic method based on the postfunctionalization of a reactive homopolymer precursor, which allows for the preparation of different copolymers derived from poly(3-alkylthiophene), was studied.

Although these groups decrease the solubility of the resultant material, they enable controlling the degree of substitution to obtain a material with improved spectroscopic (absorption and emission) properties making them useful for the fabrication of electronic devices, for example, solar cells and light-emitting diodes.

Furthermore, a comparative study of two halogenated (Cl and Br) reactive poly(3-ω-haloalkyl)thiophenes was carried out.
