A Self‐Assembling Polythiophene Functionalised with a Cysteine Moiety

Year: 2003

Type: article

Abstract: A new copolymer bearing a cysteine moiety, designed for molecular interaction, metal‐ion detection, and chiral recognition, was synthesised starting from the dibromo derivative of methyl N‐(tert‐butoxycarbonyl)‐S‐thien‐3‐ylcysteinate and distannylthiophene through a Stille coupling reaction. UV‐vis spectroscopy, circular dichroism, NMR spectroscopy, and gel permeation chromatography analyses evidenced that this polymer is able to form self‐assembling structures, through the formation of a hydrogen‐bond network, not only in the solid state but also in solution. magnified image
