Described herein are three projects centered on the synthesis of conducting polymer derivatives for various applications. The first is the novel synthesis of 9,9-dioctylfluorene-co-benzothiadiazole [F8BT] oligomers through solid phase synthesis for the study of the thermodynamics and kinetics of electron transfer in the polymer. The second endeavor involves the synthesis of a series of 4”,3’’’-dialkyl-2,2’:5’,2”:5”,2’’’:5’’’,2’’’’:5’’’’,2’’’’’-sexithiophenes for the studies on crystal packing and surface deposition of organic p-type semiconducting materials. Lastly is described the development of a conducting metallopolymer based on the ligand 2,6-Bis(4-(2,2’-bithiophen-5-yl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)pyridine for use in a drug delivery system. === text
