Abstract
A new conducting polymer was prepared by chemical and electrochemical polymerization of 3,6-dimethylthieno[3,2-b]thiophene. The galvanostatic deposition afforded uniform, adherent and dark blue films of PDMTT. Electrochemical characterization by cyclic voltammetry showed that it can be repeatedly driven between the doped and undoped species with a coulombic efficiency of nearly 100%.
Highlights
Synthetic precursors that contain thiophene units have originated series of polymers whose properties are being studied intensely [1]
We report here the chemical and electrochemical synthesis of poly(3,6-dimethylthieno[3,2b]thiophene), PDMTT, that represents a synthetically viable system in which these concepts could be examined
The chemical synthesis of PDMTT yielded a solid whose characterization is being carried on. This polymer was prepared by electropolymerization as a film supported by the electrode

Synthetic precursors (syntons) that contain thiophene units have originated series of polymers whose properties are being studied intensely [1].
