Abstract
Poly[3-(butylthio)thiophene] was obtained from 2,5-dibromo-3-(butylthi o) thiophene according to the method of Kobayashi. The polymer was cha racterized as having regioregular head-to-tail(HT) connections with si gnificant extended conjugation length and optical properties, such as solvatochromism and photoluminescence. The polymer is soluble in commo n organic solvents and can easily form films.
