Abstract
Terthiophene, to which cobalt carbonyl cluster complex is pi-conjugated, 3' -[CCo3(CO)(9)]-5,2' :5',2 "-terthiophene (3'-CoTTh), was prepared by reacti on of 3'-chloromercuro-5,2' :5',2 "-terthiophene with HCCo3(CO)(9). The mol ecular structure of 3'-CoTTh is identified by spectroscopic methods and ele mental analysis. Cyclic voltammetry of 3'-CoTTh showed deposition of electr oactive polymer films on the electrode surface. The absorption spectra of 3 '-CoTTh and its polymer films are presented.
