Based on this procedure, novel suitably functionalized perylenetetracarboxylic diimide (PDI) dye derivatives covalently linked to 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene moieties have been synthesized and electrochemically polymerized to yield a donor-acceptor PEDOT derivative with an enhanced absorption cross-section %~
