Polythiophene and ..beta..-substituted polythiophenes are prepared by electrochemical oxidation and polymerization of their respective monomers. A property-structure correlation between monomers and their corresponding polymers is obtained by systematic variation of the chemical structure of the monomers. Film growth and conductivities are dependent on ..beta..-substituents, with conductivity of the order of 1 ohm/sup -1/ cm/sup -1/ obtained for poly(..beta..-methylthiophene).
