Abstract

Regioregular polythiophene bearing a benzenesulfonate group, which involved an alkylene spacer between thiophene and benzene ring, was synthesized. The obtained polythiophene was shown to improve its conductivity by heating the polymer thin film through the transformation of the ester group into the corresponding sulfonic acid.
