Synthesis and electrochemical polymerization of new oligothiophene functionalized fluorocyclophanes

New oligothiophene functionalized fluorocyclophanes have been prepared and electropolymerized. The resulting polymers display the classical electroactivity of polythiophenes, showing that the cyclophane ring allows the charge to flow in the polymer. The charge transfer has been shown to be rather si...

Description
Summary:New oligothiophene functionalized fluorocyclophanes have been prepared and electropolymerized. The resulting polymers display the classical electroactivity of polythiophenes, showing that the cyclophane ring allows the charge to flow in the polymer. The charge transfer has been shown to be rather similar to that in a functionalized polythiophene, than that in a pendent group polymer.
