Abstract

Abstract            The branched conjugated copolymer based on triphenylamine and 3-hexylthiophene has been synthesized via Suzuki polycondensation reaction in the presence of Pd(PPh3)4 and K2CO3 as catalytic system. This conjugated polymer named poly(triphenylamine-branched-3-hexylthiophene) (P(TP-b-3HT)). The reaction was carried out at 100oC in 24 hours in the toluene media. The average molecular weight of obtained polymers was 42000 g/mol by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) with polydispersity index of 2.2. The structure of P(TP-b-3HT) was determined by 1H NMR, and optical properties of obtained polymer was characterized via UV-Vis.Tóm tát            Mot loai polyme dan dien moi voi cau truc mach nhanh duoc tong hop tren cac don vi triphenylamine va 3-hexylthiophene bang phan ung trung hop Suzuki trong su hien dien cua he xuc tac Palladium phosphine (Pd(PPh3)4) va muoi kalicarbonate (K2CO3).
