Poly(2,5-thienylene vinylene), PTV and its soluble alkyl derivatives were
synthesised using the dithiocarbamate precursor route (DTC-route) in a good
yield, with high molecular weight (Mw), low polydispersity (PD), and with a
high maximum absorption peak, 
. The polymers were
characterised by absorption spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry and, X-ray
diffraction.
