Anew palladium-catalyzed polymerization of 2-bromo-3-octylthiophene is described giving rise to oligo(3-octylthiophenes) with good yields. A study was carried out in order to optintize the polymer regioregularity (reaching 90%) and to increase the molecular weight (up to dodecamers). A mechanism is proposed with a coordination between palladium and sulfur, in a modified Heck mechanism. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
