Abstract
The synthesis of a new series of stable and soluble EDOT oligomers end-capped with n-hexyl groups is described. Optical and electrochemical results indicate that the synergy between the direct electron-releasing effects of the ethylenedioxy groups and the self-rigidification resulting from intramolecular interactions controls to a large extent the HOMO-LUMO gap.Keywords
