2-Vinylthiophene is a reactive, low energy electron donor that reacts with sodium carbonate in the presence of UV light to produce poly(2-vinylthiophene) (PVT). The UV absorption spectrum and uv/vis spectra of PVT are unique, showing only one peak in the visible region. The cationic polymerization reaction is initiated by the photolysis of 2-vinylthiophene with triethylamine. This reaction produces a soluble polymer that can be collected and purified by precipitation with acetone. The insoluble polymer product is obtained by reacting 2-vinylthiophene with sodium carbonate in the absence of UV light. The use of this synthetic substrate allows for the production of polymers that are stable to air and moisture, resistant to oxidation, and soluble in organic solvents.
