N2 - Steady-state absorption spectra of poly-3-octylthiophene films in different oxidation states and differential cyclic voltabsorptograms of poly-3-octylthiophene films in 0.1 M LiClO4 solutions in acetonitrile are studied. Electron spectra of films demonstrate the following three absorption bands: a complex band with a pronounced maximum at λ = 450 nm, which corresponds to π → π electron transitions in the reduced fragments of poly-3-octylthiophene films and two absorption bands (at λmax = 780 and λmax > 1100 nm), which correspond to the oxidized film fragments. It is concluded that two chemically and optically distinguishable oxidation products are formed during the polymer oxidation.
