Abstract:
Disclosed are polymeric compounds based upon a head-to-head (H—H) alkylthio-substituted bithiophene repeating units (e.g., 3,3′-bis(tetradecylthio)-2,2′-bithiophene). Such compounds can exhibit desirable electronic properties and possess processing advantages including solution-processability and/or good stability at ambient conditions.
