Molecular Weight Limit Identified for the Synthesis of Externally Initiated Poly(3-hexylthiophenes) and Further Macrocyclic Constructions

Externally initiated o-tolyl initiated poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) was synthesized according to Grignard metathesis polymerization at varying chain length to compare number average molecular weights (Mn) obtained by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and 1H NMR end group analysis. The extent of o...
