Abstract

End-functionalized poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) has contributed to continued advancements in conjugated polymer applications, especially within organic electronics. P3HT synthesized using Kumada catalyst-transfer polymerization (KCTP) has many favourable attributes such as controlled molecular weight, high regioregularity, and narrow dispersity. With the addition of reactive end-groups, P3HT plays an important role in advancing the development of hybrid materials and preparation of block copolymers. Exploring methods of end-functionalization that result in heteroatom-bond formation, giving a non-carbon atom bonded to the terminal thiophene, could help control and understand the p–n junction of hybrid materials. This research highlight focuses on the development of a novel and facile way of end-functionalizing P3HT with chalcogens.
