## Abstract 3‐Chlorothiophene (CT) was electrochemically polymerized in mixed electrolytes of a boron trifluoride diethyl etherate solution containing 0–20% (by volume) sulfuric acid. The oxidation potentials of the monomer in these media were measured to be only 1.06–1.31 V (vs Ag/AgCl). These val
