An electronic device containing a polythiophene wherein R represents a side chain, m represents the number of R substituents; A is a divalent linkage; x, y and z represent, respectively, the number of Rsubstituted thienylenes, unsubstituted thienylenes, and divalent linkages A, respectively, in the monomer segment subject to z being 0 or 1, and n represents the number of repeating monomer segments in the polymer or the degree of polymerization.

Polythiophenes and devices thereof

Polythiophenes of the formula wherein R is a side chain; m is the number of substituents; A is a divalent linkage; x, y and z represent, respectively, the numbers of R substituted thienylene, unsubstituted thienylene, and divalent linkages A in the monomer segment with z being either 0 or 1; and n represents the number of the repeating monomer segments in the polymer chain or the degree of polymerization.

Processes for preparing diacryl-functional compounds are provided. Processes include reacting ABmonomers with acryloyl halides, and then further reacting with long-chain, mono-functional aliphatic compounds to form long-chain diacrylates. Further processes include reacting difunctional tic compounds with acrylic acid to form difunctional diacrylate, and diacrylamide compounds.

Processes for preparing difunctional compounds

A thienylene-arylene polymer comprised of a repeating segment containing at least one 2,5-thienylene unit selected from (I) and (II), and from about one to about three arylene units selected from (IIIa), (IIIb), and/or (IIIc) wherein R is an alkyl or an alkoxy; R' is halogen, alkyl, or alkoxy, and a and b represent the number of Rs.

Polymers

Polthiophenes and devices thereof

An electronic device containing a polythiophene prepared by a metal halide-mediated coupling polymerization in an appropriate solvent, and which polythiophene is comprised of at least one monomer unit selected from the group consisting of 2,5-thienylene (or 2,5-thiophenediyl) (I), 2,5-thienylene (or 2,5-thiophenediyl) (II), and a divalent linkage D wherein, for example, A is alkyl, alkoxy or derivatives thereof; B is a hydrogen atom, a small substituent like alkyl or alkoxy.

An electronic device containing a thienylene-arylene polymer comprised of a repeating segment containing at least one 2,5-thienylene segment of (I) or (II), and at least one arylene segment of (IIIa), (IIIb), or (IIIc) wherein each R is independently an alkyl or an alkoxy side chain; R' is halogen, alkyl, or alkoxy, and a and b represent the number of R segments or groups, and wherein the number of arylene segments (IIIa), (IIIb), and (IIIc) is from about 1 to about 3.

Semiconductor polymers and devices thereof

Polythiophenes of the formulawherein R and R' are side chains; A is a divalent linkage; x and y represent the number of unsubstituted thienylene units; z represents the number of groups, and wherein the sum of x and y represents the number of groups; m represents the number of segments; and n represents the degree of polymerization.

A polythiophene comprising, for example, a repeating segment of the formulawherein R' is CF, alkoxy, or alkyl; and y and z represent the number of repeating segments.

Fluorinated polythiophenes and devices thereof

An electronic device containing a polythiophene prepared by a metal halide-mediated coupling polymerization in an appropriate solvent, and which polythiophene is comprised of at least one monomer unit selected from the group consisting of 2,5-thienylene (or 2,5-thiophenediyl) (I), 2,5-thienylene (or 2,5-thiophenediyl) (II), and a divalent linkage Dwherein, for example, A is alkyl, alkoxy or derivatives thereof; B is a hydrogen atom, a small substituent like alkyl or alkoxy.
