In the field of plastic electronics, low band gap conjugated polymers like poly(thienylene vinylene) (PTV) and its derivatives are a promising class of materials that can be obtained with high molecular weight via the so-called dithiocarbamate precursor route. We have performed a joint experimental-theoretical study of the full NMR chemical shift assignment in a series of thiophene-based model compounds, which aims at (i) benchmarking the quantum-chemical calculations against experiments, (ii) identifying the signature of possible structural defects that can appear during the polymerization of PTV's, namely head-to-head and tail-to-tail defects, and (iii) defining a criterion regarding regioregularity.
