Filed:

Jun 7, 2006

Appl. No.:

12/308024

Inventors:

Reuben Rieke - Lincoln NE, US

Assignee:

RIEKE METALS INC. - Lincoln NE

International Classification:

C08G 75/08

US Classification:

528380

Abstract:

The invention provides a method of preparing regioregular HT poly(3-substituted-thiophene). The method includes contacting a 3-substituted-thiophene-metal complex with a manganese(II) halide to provide a 3-substituted-thiophene-manganese complex; and contacting the thiophene-manganese complex with a nickel(II) catalyst to provide the regioregular HT poly(3-substituted-thiophene). The substitution at the 3-position can be a variety of different groups. Additionally, unsubstituted and 3,4-disubstituted polythiophenes can also be prepared by the method. Electronic devices can be made using the polymers prepared as described herein.
