Abstract
3,3'-Dialkyl-substituted poly[E-1,2-(2,2'-dithienyl)ethylene]s (PDTEs) have been synthesized and characterized. The polymers are sufficientl y soluble in common organic solvents and have been structurally charac terized by NMR and FT-IR spectroscopies. The polymers, doped via chemi cal or electrochemical process, show a strong electrochromic effect. T he films of substituted polymer are blue in the reduced form whilst th e doped materials are quite transparent in the visible spectral region .
