Molecular Design, Synthetic Strategies, and Applications of Cationic Polythiophenes
This review delves into the synthesis of cationic-functionalized oligothiophenes and polythiophenes, their properties, and their diverse applications from the year 2002 to 2019. Pristine polythiophene chains are hydrophobic and are not easily converted into a form that is useful for broad applicatio...

This review delves into the synthesis of cationic-functionalized oligothiophenes and polythiophenes, their properties, and their diverse applications from the year 2002 to 2019.

Functional modification of the polymer side chain especially with cationic pendant groups imparts favorable properties to the system, such as solubility in aqueous medium and affinity with anions and negatively charged species, alongside the extensive π conjugation that provides unique optoelectronic characteristics.
