Abstract
Alkyl substituted dithieno[3,4-b:3',4'-d]thiophenes are subject to ele ctrooxidative polymerization to afford electronically conductive polym er films. Whereas the parent fused heterocycle has four alpha-thienyl positions through which polymerization can occur, disubstituted monome rs afford well-defined polymer structures. The 2,5-dioctyl analog is s oluble in common organic solvents.
