摘要
The physical properties (electrical absorptions, bandgaps, electroconductivities) of a completely regioregular head-to-tail polyalkylthiophene and a totally regiorandom isopolymer are reported. The regioregular polyalkylthiophenes exhibit, to date, the smallest bandgap (1.7 eV) and the highest intrinsic conductivity (10(-6) S/cm for undoped polymer) of polyalkylthiophenes. The bandgap is 0.3-0.5 eV lower than that of normal polyalkylthiophenes (2.0-2.2 eV) and the intrinsic conductivity is three orders of magnitude higher than that of normal polyalkylthiophenes (10(-9)-10(-10) S/cm). The regioregular polymer also exhibits a large iodine-doped conductivity (average 1350 S/cm) of polymer film. A bipolaron gap state is generated in the iodine-doped regioregular polyalkylthiophene film by chemical oxidation, while it fails for the regiorandom polyalkylthiophene.
