Bithiophene–bithiazole alternating copolymers with thiophene side chains: Synthesis by organometallic polycondensation and chemical properties of the copolymers

Abstract

New bithiophene–bithiazole alternating copolymers with thiophene side chains at the bithiazole unit have been prepared. The copolymers show a strong tendency to self-assemble and align on the surface of substrates, similarly to related copolymers with alkyl side chains at the bithiazole unit.
