Popis: Poly(3-hexylthiophene)s were synthesized with phosphonic ester, pyridine, thiol, and phenol end-groups using functionalized air-stable Ni initiators. The protected thiol- and phenol-functionalized P3HTs were converted into thiol and phenol P3HTs by quantitative postpolymerization reactions. 1H NMR and MALDI-ToF analysis showed very high degrees of functionalization and strong control over the polymerization except for the pyridine functionalized P3HT. These functional end-groups were used to prepare hybrid materials from a broad variety of nanoparticles, including metal oxides, quantum dots, and noble metals. © 2013 American Chemical Society. ispartof: Macromolecules vol:46 issue:21 pages:8500-8508 status: published
