- Abstract
Novel optically active oligothiophenes bearing electron‐donating chiral side chains have been prepared by synthetic methods suitable to achieve regioregular head‐to‐tail and head‐to‐head/tail‐to‐tail derivatives. In particular, the chiral (S)‐(2‐methyl)butyl moiety was linked at position 3 of the thiophene ring through heteroatoms, such as S or O, to evaluate its effect on the macro molecular aggregation and, consequently, on the chiroptical properties of the material in the solid state. The materials have been fully characterized and investigated by optical and chiroptical methods upon aggregation both from the solution and as cast films. Compared with the related head‐to‐tail and head‐to‐head/tail‐to‐tail poly(3‐alkyl)thiophene derivatives, with the same optically active moiety directly linked to the ring and possessing a higher polymerization degree, the chiroptical properties of the newly synthesized oligomers were significant, or even better, and provided insight into the role of intrachain–interchain interactions between the heteroatom and the thienyl sulfur atom.
