Abstract

The temperature dependence of the UV–VIS absorption maximum of alkyl tetrasubstituted sexithiophene and poly (dialkylterthiophene) have been investigated, and the results are consistent with a rotation of the main conjugated chain induced by an increase of disorder in the side chains upon heating.
