Abstract
ABSTRACTConjugated polymers in general, and polythiophenes in particular have been attracting attention in the field of molecular electronics. Polythiophenes functionalized at the β- position with various groups have resulted in processable, conjugated polymeric systems with applications such as organic electrodes, photorefractive materials, electro-luminescent devices, among others. We report the synthesis of a thiophene copolymer with alkyl and chiral amino acid substituents at the β- position. We have synthesized a solution processable poly[3-octylthiophene-co-(N-1-carboxyl, 2- (4-hydroxy-3-nitrophenyl)ethyl)-3-thiophene acetamide] with 3-nitro-L-Tyrosine as the chiral amino acid side chain. The UV-Visible and optical rotatory dispersion spectra of the new copolymer are discussed.
