Abstract
A variety of α,α'-subtituted quaterthiophenes containing ester, amide and polymerizable side chains have been synthesized and fully characterized. The self-assembly properties of these oligothiophenes were studied as function of the side chain. Introduction of amide functionalities highly promotes the self-assembly via n-stacking and hydrogen bond interactions, while the lack of amides prevent aggregate formation. Initial experiments show that by introducing a sorbyl moiety as a polymerizable group it is possible to achieve covalent fixation of the oligothiophene units in the self-assembled state.
