Title: Synthesis of a soluble adenine-functionalized polythiophene through direct arylation polymerization and its fluorescence responsive behavior

Journal Article · · Polymer Chemistry
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1039/c9py01142k · OSTI ID:1606026

An adenine-functionalized polythiophene is synthesized via direct arylation polymerization using Boc-protection to overcome catalyst deactivation. The resulting copolymer is highly soluble and shows reversible fluorescence quenching.
