A novel conjugated polythiophene derivative with polymethacrylate attaching to the polymer backbone via an alkyl spacer was successfully synthesized. A methacrylate‐substituted thiophene monomer, 3‐(hexyl methacrylate)thiophene was prepared and polymerized by free radical polymerization, followed by an electrochemical polymerization. The resulting polymer as a yellow‐green‐light emitter, has potential applications in photoelectronics area.
