- 35Since PDDTP was insoluble in any solvent, an alkyl-substituted counterpart of the monomer (Supporting Information; Figure S2) was synthesized and electrochemically polymerized under the same conditions. Then polymer films were reduced electrochemically in monomer-free electrolyte solution and dissolved in [D2]tetrachloroethane. 13C NMR spectroscopy of the resulting polymer demonstrated that hydrogen atoms on the α and α′ positions of the thiophene rings labeled with the letters c and d (Supporting Information) remained after electrochemical polymerization confirming the proposed structure for PDDTP. The related work for alkyl-substituted PDDTP will be published separately.
