Thermochromism of cast films of poly(3-hexylthiophene) and poly(3-dodecylthiophene) was studied by electronic absorption and FT-IR spectra. A possible mechanism for the transition is discussed from the viewpoint of conformational changes of the methylene side chains deduced from the FT-IR spectra. Electronic absorption and vibrational spectra of poly(3-hexylthiophene) films were measured at high pressures by use of a diamond anvil cell. The absorption edge energy decreased with increasing pressure up to 3 GPa and then showed leveling off and subsequent increase. The decrease is probably due to an increased conjugation length of the thiophene main chain caused by a compact packing of methylene side chains. On the other hand, the increase in the edge energy is attributed to a distortion of a plane polymer structure caused by the steric hindrance between neighboring polymer chains. Electric conductivity of a poly(3-hexylthiophene) film showed the pressure dependence parallel to that of the absorption edge.
