  • Abstract
    Selective anodic chlorination of a poly(3-hexylthiophene) was successfully carried out by electrochemical polymer reaction. NMR and EDX analyses revealed the selective and sufficient substitution of chlorine atom at the 4-position of the repeating thiophene ring. GPC measurement of the polymer before and after electrolysis indicated that neither decomposition nor propagation of the polymer occurred even after passage of the excess charge. The optical and electrochemical properties of the obtained chlorinated polymer were investigated in detail.
