Abstract
We present an NMR study of structural defects in poly(3-decylthiophene )s synthesized with different methods. The polymers obtained with FeCl 3 oxidation and by electropolymerization show mainly correlated defect s in the enchainment. A lower number of defects, which art uncorrelate d, is introduced with the Grignard reaction yielding a polymer with th e highest mean conjugation length. The extension of the defect free po lymer segments is, however, not very different for the different polym ers studied.
