Polythiazoles

  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-013424",
  "term": "Polythiazoles",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A polymer whose macromolecules contain thiazole rings, five-membered heterocycles with one sulfur and one nitrogen atom, in the backbone. They are commonly prepared by metal-catalysed coupling of halogenated thiazoles, for example by Kumada coupling, or by polycondensations based on the Hantzsch thiazole synthesis of thioamides with alpha-haloketones. Conjugated polythiazoles are studied as semiconducting materials.",
