Abstract
⺠We study vibrational properties of polythiophenes up to 12mer by DFT calculations. ⺠The analysis includes odd-sized oligomers, treated only sporadically so far. ⺠The agreement with the experiments is improved as compared to other publications. ⺠The B3LYP functional reproduces better the low-frequency out-of-plane vibrations. ⺠The PBE functional reproduces better the high-frequency in-plane vibrations.
