Poly(3,3′-dibutoxy-2,2′-bithiophene): a new highly conjugated polythiophene derivative

Abstract
Chemical oxidation of 3,3′-dibutoxy-2,2′-bithiophene has led to the synthesis of a nearly transparent conducting (2 S cm–1) polymer which has an oxidation potential at only 0.07 V vs. saturated calomel electrode.
