Abstract The conformers of 2,2′:5′,2″-terthiophene were determined through ab initio MO full geometry optimization with a 6-31G * basis set. Different minima were found corresponding to twisted anti, anti, syn, anti and syn, syn structures. An estimate of the interconversion rate between conformers was performed.
