An improved process for preparing regioregular substituted polythiophenes is described where a substituted thiophene having at least two leaving groups is treated with an organomagnesium halide followed by zinc chloride or bromide and the resulting reaction mixture in solution is polymerized with a Ni(II) catalyst.

The invention provides a method of preparing regioregular HT poly(3-substituted-thiophene). The method includes contacting a 3-substituted-thiophene-metal complex with a manganese(II) halide to provide a 3-substituted-thiophene-manganese complex; and contacting the thiophene-manganese complex with a nickel(II) catalyst to provide the regioregular HT poly(3-substituted-thiophene). The substitution at the 3-position can be a variety of different groups. Additionally, unsubstituted and 3,4-disubstituted polythiophenes can also be prepared by the method. Electronic devices can be made using the polymers prepared as described herein.
