Summary The synthesis of poly(α-thiophenediyl)benzylidene (PTB) with high molecular weight is described. Number-average degrees of polymerization reached about 74. The characterizations of the polymer was investigated by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, IR, and UV-VIS spectra. The polymer with well-defined structure and high molecular weight was obtained by polymerization at low temperature and in polar solvent. This polymer was thermally stable and a thermal decomposition took place at 391°C under nitrogen and at 370°C under air. The glass transformation temperature was 117°C and this PTB was nonfusible.
