Abstract

The synthesis and characterization of an optically active quinquethiophene monomer 3,3””-didodecyl-4’,3”’-di[(S)-(+)-2-methylbutyl]-2,2’:5’,2”:5”,2”’:5”’,2””-quinquethiophene [(S)-(+)-DDDMBQT], bearing at the C-β positions of thiophene rings both linear C12 alkyl chain and chiral, enantiomerically pure, alkyl group is described. The polymerization of [(S)-(+)-DDDMBQT] by oxidative mechanism has been optimized in terms of yield of soluble polymer with high molecular weight. The obtained polymeric derivative displays enhanced conjugation extension with respect to similar poly(3-alkylthiophene)s reported in the literature and optical activity in the spectral region related to the chromophore absorptions when in the microaggregate state, indicative of the presence of supramolecular chiral conformations.
