Control over the electronic structure in π-conjugated polymers is of great importance for the development of organic electronics and spintronics. In this study, we synthesized a sheathed cross-conjugated polythiophene through oxidative electrochemical polymerization. Spectroelectrochemistry has revealed that unlike linearly conjugated polythiophenes, polarons were confined in the repeating units that were segmented by cross-conjugation.

护套交叉共轭聚噻吩的合成及氧化还原行为

控制π共轭聚合物中的电子结构对于有机电子学和自旋电子学的发展具有重要意义。在这项研究中，我们通过氧化电化学聚合合成了一种有鞘的交叉共轭聚噻吩。光谱电化学表明，与线性共轭聚噻吩不同，极化子被限制在通过交叉共轭分段的重复单元中。
