Abstract

Abstract Summary: Poly(3‐alkoxythiophene)s with different degrees of regioregularity were prepared using three different methodologies. It is shown that their Faraday rotation is highly dependent on the degree of regioregularity. The origin of the differences in regiospecificity of the methodologies is discussed.
