Abstract

In this paper, the vibrational FT-Raman spectra obtained at different anodic potentials chosen in the oxidation and reduction branches of the voltamperometric waves of two α,α'-sexithiophenes end capped with n-hexyl and n-thiohexyl groups are investigated. In order to analyze the evolution of the atomic charges and bonth lengths on going from the neutral to the doped species some theoretical calculations have been carried out.
