Synthesis of polythiophene derivative bearing methoxy and pyridine groups at the β-position and formation of an intramolecular hydrogen bonding through the polymer reaction

A novel poly(pyridylthiophene) derivative with an intramolecular hydrogen bonding between the hydroxy and pyridine groups at the β-position was synthesized to investigate the optoelectronic properties in detail with the aid of theoretical calculation of model compounds.104
