Abstract

A new conducting polymer, poly (benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b′]dithiophene-4,8-diyl vinylene) (1), has been prepared by pyrolysis of a precursor polymer 2, which, in turn, was prepared by a multistep synthetic sequence (Scheme 1). The polymer has a UV-vis spectral maximum at 501 nm (2.48 eV), band-gap (band edge) of 1.92 eV and with FeC?3 doping a conductivity of 15 S cm1. Quantum Mechanical calculations using PRDDO, ab-initio and modified extended Hiickel Methodology on the Monomers, trimers and polymers, both aromatic and quinoid, provided structures and an absorption maximum band-gap which is consistent with either a planar aromatic polymer or a polymer which has both aromatic and quinoid units.
