A comparison of experimental and theoretical studies of benzoquinone modified poly(thiophene): effect of polymerization techniques on the structure and properties

Abstract

The present manuscript reports the synthesis of benzoquinone (BQ) modified polythiophene (PTh) by chemical and microwave-assisted polymerization techniques.

Theoretical studies of conducting polymers: a mini review

“…The experimental electronic as well as vibrational spectra matched the theoretical spectra. 84 The theoretical studies pertaining to the modification of PANI and poly( o -phenylenediamine) (POPD) with Sudan-I dye and homopolymerization and co-oligomerization of the Congo red (CR) dye with aniline and o -phenylenediamine were also reported via DFT studies 85,86 (Fig. 13).…”
