Recently, a systematically regiocontrolled synthesis of poIy(3-alkylthiophene)s mediated by Rieke zinc has been proposed [187] and a series of poly(3-alkylthiophene)s with different regioregularities has been obtained starting from the same compounds. Thus it was possible to prepare a completely regioregular HT polymer and a totally regiorandom one.
