Abstract
Ab initio calculations on bithiophenes, confirmed by X-ray analysis, show how to design polythiophenes with C=O groups in both the 3- and 4-positions which are completely planar. Planarity results from coulombic attraction between a carbonyl O and a nearby S. A model bithiophene and two polythiophene imides which are potentially completely planar have been prepared and studied. © 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
