Deskripsi

<div align="justify">In this paper, we have studied the conformational and opto-electronic properties of several oligomers of bridged oligo(bithiophene)s (BTX)n , n=1 to 4 with (X: CH2, SiH2, C=O, C=S and C=C(CN)2). The conformational analysis shows that the most stable conformation is anti-planar conformation. The opto-electronic properties of the octamer (OTX) lead us to suggest that this oligomer is a good model to reflect opto-electronic properties for the parent polymer. </div>
