Abstract

A difunctional thienylpyrrole monomer with a bromide on the thienyl moiety and a magnesium halide on the pyrrole moiety was prepared via chemo-selective magnesium–iodine exchange. Based on this monomer, a π-conjugated alternating poly(thiophene-alt-pyrrole) PTP was synthesized via nickel and palladium catalyzed Kumada polycondensation. The optical and thermal properties of this polymer have been investigated and suggested a wide band gap polymer, with a very low Tg for such polymers.
