Abstract
Electrochemical polymerization of 2,5-bis(trimethylsilyl)thiophene produced highly conducting films which showed IR, visible-near IR absorption spectra, and cyclic voltammograms identical to films prepared from thiophene. Elemental analysis indicated that almost all silicon atoms were eliminated during the electrochemical polymerization. However, SEM showed a morphological difference between the films from 2,5-bis (trimethylsilyl)thiophene and from thiophene
