Abstract
Low bandgap conducting polymers have been prepared from the electropolymeri sation of bridged dithienyl derived monomers. These low bandgap polymers un dergo redox switching from neutral to doped states, the switching is accomp anied by changes in the optical properties of the polymers. We report the c haracterisation of these polymers using cyclic voltammetry, in situ UV and FTIR.
