Polythiophenes are polymerized thiophenes, a sulfur heterocycle. The parent PT is an insoluble colored solid with the formula n. The rings are linked through the 2- and 5-positions. Polys have alkyl s
Polythiophenes demonstrate interesting optical properties resulting from their conjugated backbone, as demonstrated by the fluorescence of a substituted polythiophene solution under UV irradiation.

Iron chloride, also called ferric chloride, is an inorganic compound with the formula FeCl3. It forms hydrates FeCl3·xH2O. These compounds are some of the most important and commonplace compounds of i

…acid, and sulfonic acids produce PTs with lower conductivities than iodine, but with higher environmental stabilities. Oxidative polymerization with ferric chloride can result in doping by residual catalyst, although matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) studies have shown that…
