摘要

Abstract

Highly regioregular

head-to-tail coupled poly(3-octylesterthiophene) was synthesized by the Pd-catalysed oxidative C―H/C―H coupling polycondensation. The regioregularity of polymer products was confirmed by the

H-NMR technique. Furthermore

the effects of various reaction factors including polymerization temperature

solvents and catalysts

etc.

on the yield

molecular weight and structural regioregularity of the resultant polymers were systematically studied. The optical

electrochemical and crystallization properties of the resultant P3OET with different HT regioregularities in solution and film state were studied by UV-Vis and fluorescent spectroscopy

cyclic voltammetry and X-ray diffraction (XRD)

resepectively.
