The previously known 3-thienyltrifluoroacetamide (1) and the new compound,
3-thienylheptafluorobutyramide (2) have been synthesized in high purity by
a new route and characterized by spectroscopy and elemental analysis. Both
substances can be electrochemically polymerized to yield electrically condu
cting films. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
