Abstract
The electrochemical redox behaviour of alkyl bridged polythiophene derivati ves poly(I,6-bis(3-thienyl-)hexane) and poly(I,12-bis(3-thienyl-)dodecane) are investigated by cyclic voltammetry and compared to poly((3-hexyl-)thiop hene) and poly((3-dodecyl-)thiophene). In addition the thermal characterist ics of these polymers are determined by differential scanning calorimetry. The polythiophene derivatives exhibit a temperature and time dependent redo x behaviour. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
