Poly(3-hexylthiophene)s were synthesized with phosphonic ester, pyridine, thiol, and phenol end-groups using functionalized air-stable Ni initiators. The protected thiol- and phenol-functionalized P3HTs were converted into thiol and phenol P3HTs by quantitative postpolymerization reactions. 1H NMR and MALDI–ToF analysis showed very high degrees of functionalization and strong control over the polymerization except for the pyridine functionalized P3HT. These functional end-groups were used to prepare hybrid materials from a broad variety of nanoparticles, including metal oxides, quantum dots, and noble metals.
