2,2?:5?,2??-Terthiophene undergoes electrochemical copolymerization along with carbazole and in sodium perchlorate/acetonitrile was reported. Electrochromic copolymer based on TTh and 3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene has been reported. It acts as a monomer precursor for polythiophene and as a dopant for polycarbonate. It may function as a photosensitizer. It also exihibits antifungal activity.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
