A peryleneamidine monoimide-fused terthiophene with a band
gap of 1.4 eV has been synthesized. The donor-acceptor system can beelectropolymerized to
generate a functionalized polythiophene with a band
gap of 0.9 eV and with ambipolar characteristics showin
g hi
ghelectroactivity in both the p- and the n-dopin
g process. This is the first example of a p-type conju
gated polymer in direct conju
gation withn-type perylenemonoimide moieties.
