Abstract

A series of Pd complexes of 3'-diphenylphosphino-2, 2': 5'2''-terthiophene (1a, dppterth) in which the metal is coordinated in three different modes have been prepared and electropolymerized, resulting in the formation of conductive thin films. In [Pd2 (μ- Cl2)(dppterth-P, C 3) 2](3a) the metal is P, C-coordinated, in [PdCl2 (dppterth-P) 2](4a) the coordination is monodentate via the phosphine, and in [Pd (dppterth-P, C 3)(dppterth-P, S ...
