Abstract
The synthesis of 3-octyl-thiophene, 3,3′-dioctyl-bithiophene and 3,4′,3″-tri(3-octy!)-terthiophene has been carried out by using the cross coupling reaction, catalyzed by nickel. These oligomers were polymerized by chemical oxidative method with FeCl3 and electrochemically. The products were characterized by UV. 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and GPC. The behavior and optical properties of the polymers obtained by different polymerization methodologies is discussed.
