Popis: Stille coupling reaction of 4,8-dibromo-2,6-dihexyl-benzo[1,2-d:4,5-d′]bisthiazole and 2,5-bis(trimethylstannyl)thiophene afford a new conjugated conducting copolymer 1 . The polymer was completely soluble in common organic solvents. The electrical conductivity of the polymer is at about 3.8 × 10 −1 S/cm. The UV–vis spectra of the polymer in a chloroform solution and in a spin-cast film on a piece of glass show π–π * absorption bands ( λ max ) of 460 nm and 538 nm, respectively. The 78 nm red shift of the λ max of the polymer in the film, in comparison to that observed for the polymer in chloroform, possibly indicates much more planarization and aggregates formation due to the π electron stacking in terms of inter-chain characteristics in the solid state. The structure of the polymer has been compared with that of compound 3 as model compound. Rationalizations are presented for optical properties of the polymer in relation to polymer structure.
