Abstract
The preparation of a terthiophene system is reported, the monomer is linked to a strongly electron-withdrawing fluorene unit via a conjugated heterocy clic bridge and readily polymerises under electrochemical conditions: to gi ve: the corresponding poly(thiophene). Keywords: Poly(thiophene) and deriva tives; heterocycle synthesis; electrochemical polymerisation; special-purpo se functionalised conjugated polymers; photoconductivity.
