Novel synthesis of electroresponsive poly(thiophenylene) through a Michael-type addition.
[figure: see text] A novel poly(thiophenylene) having N,N-diphenyl-1,4-phenylenediamine (PDA) as a redox unit was synthesized through a Michael-type addition. This polymerization proceeded at room temperature without catalysts. The polymer obtained acted as a good electroresponsive material with moderate thermostability.
