Novel polythiophenes (PTs) derived from 3-alkylthiophenes (R = hexyl, octyl) and a thiophene functionalized with pyrene chromophore were synthesized. A homopolymer and copolymers were obtained by using different stoichiometric ratios, and their photophysical properties were investigated. Physicochemically characterized by FT-IR, H-1 NMR, UV-vis, DSC-TGA and GPC as well as fluorescence spectroscopy, the new PTs reached moderate molecular weight distributions, exhibited good thermal properties and were easily processable for depositing films of satisfactory optical quality with third-order nonlinear optical susceptibilities of approximately 10(-12) esu. The new PTs showed absorption and emission bands ranging from 346 to 430 nm, and from 450 to 570 nm, respectively, with quantum yields between 0.07 and 0.25. In addition, nanoparticles were obtained from the N's by using the miniemulsion technique. Their spectroscopic characteristics and morphology were determined by means of UV vis spectroscopy and SEM analysis. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
