The invention relates to a method of preparing thiophene-containing or furan-containing conjugated compounds such as polythiophene. The method uses a precursor compound having tetrahydrothiophene or tetrahydrofuran precursor units having arylthio or alkylthio substituents. The precursor units can be thermally converted into thiophene or furan units. Due to the presence of the precursor units the precursor compound is soluble and can, unlike the corresponding conjugated compound, be processed from solution.
本发明涉及一种制备含
噻吩或含
呋喃共轭化合物(如聚
噻吩)的方法。该方法使用的前体化合物具有
四氢噻吩或
四氢呋喃前体单元,这些单元具有芳
硫基或烷
硫基取代基。前驱体单元可通过热转换成
