Abstract
3-Alkyl thiophenes may be conveniently polymerised by chemical or electrochemical means and further processed to provide electroactive polymers. Here we describe a versatile synthetic strategy that provides thiophene metal complexes with potential use in the fields of redox active polymers and in electroluminescent devices. The electrochemical behavior of two complexes is established and is reported.
