Abstract
A chiral and an achiral poly(N-substituted dithieno[3,2-b:2’,3’-d]pyrrole) (PDTP) were prepared by chemical oxidation. These materials represent a class of soluble (chiral) conjugated polymers, which can be reversibly oxidized, as demonstrated by UV-vis spectroscopy. Moreover, they are stable in both neutral and oxidized state for prolonged time. Finally, the chiral properties (circular
