Summary
The title polymer was synthesized by free radical initiation. The 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectra were recorded and analyzed in terms of polymer stereochemistry. By comparison of the results to those previously obtained, free radical initiated poly(5-ethyl-2-vinyl thiophene) was shown to be an atactic polymer.
