Chiral Polythiophenes

This review reports the synthesis and the properties of chiral polythiophenes (PTs) and in particular it is focused on PTs bearing a sulfur atom directly bonded to the thiophene ring. These polymers show remarkable properties, related to their chirality and electrical conductivity and to the ability to interact with chiral molecules opening the possibility for using them in new potential applications, like chiral sensors, chiral resolution and electrodes.
