Abstract
Abstract 3,3′-Dialkyl-substituted poly[ E -1,2-(2,2′-dithienyl)ethylene]s (PDTEs) have been synthesized and characterized. The polymers are sufficiently soluble in common organic solvents and have been structurally characterized by NMR and FT-IR spectroscopies. The polymers, doped via chemical or electrochemical process, show a strong electrochromic effect. The films of substituted polymer are blue in the reduced form whilst the doped materials are quite transparent in the visible spectral region.
