Electrochemical synthesis of oligomers of the mono n-octyl-ester of 3(3-thienyl)glutaric acid and its properties

The structure and properties of electrochemically synthesized oligomers of the mono n-octyl-ester of 3(3-thienyl)glutaric acid (EGA) have been studied. By using UV-Vis, FT-IR, 1H-NMR, emission as well as simulated UV-Vis and 1H-NMR spectra of the product it has been found that the trimer of EGA with a non-stereoregular structure of the head-to-head and tail-to-tail type (HT-TT) is formed as a main product after accomplishing the electrosynthesis.
