Abstract
A thiophene compound represented by formula (I): in which A represents a C1-5-alkylene bridge; R represents a —R1—(C═O)—R2 group; —R1— represents a —R3— or —R4—X—R5— group; R2 is hydrogen, a hydroxy group, a thiol group, —NR6R7, —OR8 or a —SR9 group; R3, R4 and R5 are independently an alkylene group or an arylene group; X is a —O—, —S— or ═NR10; R6 and R7 are independently hydrogen, an optionally substituted amino group or an optionally substituted alkyl group; R8 and R9 are independently an optionally substituted alkyl group (optionally with at least one substituent selected from the group consisting of an alcohol, amide, ether, ester or sulfonate group), an optionally substituted aryl group or a —SiR11R12R13 group; R10 is an alkyl, aryl or acyl group; and R11, R12 and R13 are independently an optionally substituted alkoxy or alkyl group; polymers derived therefrom; a process for polymerizing a thiophene according to formula (I), optionally chemically or electrochemically; and solutions, dispersions, pastes and layers containing polymers derived therefrom.
