Synthesis and Reactivities of Conducting Hexathienylbenzene-Co-Poly(3-Hexylthiophene) Star-Branched Copolymer as Donor Material for Organic Photovoltaic Cell

Synthesis and Reactivities of Conducting Hexathienylbenzene-Co-Poly(3-Hexylthiophene) Star-Branched Copolymer as Donor Material for Organic Photovoltaic Cell

The hexathienylbenzene-co-poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5diyl) (HTB-co-P3HT) conducting polymer was synthesized by oxidative co-polymerization of hexathienylbenzene (HTB) and 3-hexylthiophene using iron chloride (FeCl3) as an oxidant. The effect of chlorobenzene, toluene and chloroform on the optoelectron...
