Abstract
The interaction of poly(3-hexylthiophene), P3HT, with oxygen has been investigated. Evidence-in the form of UV - vis absorption, electron pa ramagnetic resonance data, and a field effect conductivity analysis of a polymer-based field effect transistor-is presented for the existenc e of a reversible charge transfer complex between P3HT and oxygen. Oxy gen-sensor applications can be foreseen for thin film transistors inco rporating P3HT.
