Abstract

A new chemical method of simultaneous polymerization and doping of 2, 2 '-bithiophene (1) and 2, 2', 5', 2”-terthiophene (2) using thallium (II1) trifluoroacetate (TTFA) in trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) is reported. These reactions have been carried out at 20 “C and at 72 “C observing no remarkable differences in the quality of the polymers, which are undoped or compensated and purified to their neutral state by extraction with different solvents, and ...
