Synthesis of Macrocyclic Poly(3-hexylthiophene) and Poly(3-heptylselenophene) by Alkyne Homocoupling
{{output}}
Here we report the synthesis of cyclic samples of poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT, degrees of polymerization = 25, 40, and 75) and poly(3-heptylselenophene) (P37S, DP = 30). Cyclization was accomplished using a mild alkyne-alkyne homocoupling procedure. Alkyne-te... ...
