Popis: We present the results of a theoretical and vibrational spectroscopic study carried out on three different 2,2 ′(dihexyl-2,2′,5,5′-tetrahydro-2,2′-bithienylidene-5,5′-diylidene)bis(propanedinitrile) isomers, which are compared with the corresponding unsubstituted bithienoquinonoid in the pristine state as solids. In these isomers, the two solubilizing hexyl side chains are attached to preassigned ‚-positions: head-to-head (HH), head-totail (HT), and tail-to-tail (TT). These materials possess a highly extended ﷿-electron conjugation, since they bear a pure heteroquinonoid structure in their electronic ground states. Thus, these molecules could be regarded as suitable models of the structural perturbations induced by the ionization in doped polythiophene.
