Fluorescent properties of some polythiophenes synthesized from 2-(thiophen-3-yl)acetohydrazide and acetophenone

In this study, new polythiophenes containing hydrazone groups from derivatives of acetophenone were synthesized by chemical oxidative coupling polymerization. Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis) combined with infrared (IR) analyses proved the supposed structure of novel polythiophenes and proved conformance of the expected synthetic method. Morphology and surface properties of the synthesized polymers were investigated by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM).
