General description

2,5-Dibromo-3-hexylthiophene is a 2,5 coupled conductive polymer with conjugated polythiophene based system, which has a controllable band gap.

Application

Conducting polymer precursor.
It can be used as a monomer with 5,5′-dibromo-3,3′-dihexyl-2,2′-bithiophene, which can synthesize regioregular-P3HT-regiosymmetric-P3HT (a diblock polymer) for organic electronics based applications. It can also be used in the synthesis of P3HT, which can be potentially used for photocatalytic applications.
