Abstract
Electrochemical polymerization of bis(2-thienyl)dimethylsilane (BTMS), 1,2-bis(2-thienyl)tetramethyldisilane (BTMDS), bis(2-thienyl)diphenys ilane (BTPS), and 2,5-bis(trimethylsilyl)thiophene (BTMST) was studied . These thiophenes bearing silyl substituents produced conducting poly mer films which showed IR spectra, optical absorption spectra, and cyc lic voltammograms identical to the film prepared from thiophene. Howev er, SEM photographs showed morphological difference between the films from the silyl-substituted thiophenes and from thiophene.
