Abstract

In this paper, some new polythiophenes containing benzo[d]thiazole heterocycle were synthesized by the oxidative polymerization in chloroform using iron(III) chloride as a catalytic oxidant. Infrared (IR) spectroscopy and ultraviolet–visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy analyses confirmed that the polymerization reaction successfully took place and the absorption band at 497 nm is typical for ππ* transition in the conjugated polythiophenes. The polymers are composed of relatively uniform particles using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) method. Based on thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), the polymers had average thermal stability in the atmosphere when decomposed completely at 500 oC. The polymers exhibited fluorescence emission at about 516 nm due to the conjugated chain in the polymers.

Keywords: Polythiophene, benzo[d]thiazole, chemical oxidative polymerization, heterocyclic side groups, electrical conductivity.
