N-substituted 2,5-di(2-thienyl)pyrroles: application, production, properties, and electrochemical polymerization (review)

  • Published:
Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds Aims and scope

In this review methods for the synthesis of substituted 2,5-di(2-thienyl)pyrroles are described, and various aspects of their application are discussed. The main emphasis is on the electrochemical behavior of the compounds, the possibility of their electrochemical polymerization, and their use as monomers for the production of conducting polymers – components for molecular electronics.

Notes

  1. With reference to a saturated silver chloride electrode; here and subsequently E oxp  ≡ E pa ≡ E p,a ≡ E a ≡ E ap is the anodic peak potential; E redp  ≡ E pc ≡ E p,c ≡ E c is the cathodic peak potential (in the review the abbreviations used by the authors of the papers are retained); E 1/2 ≡ E p1/2 is the half-wave potential; E onset is the potential at the onset of polymerization; AE is the auxiliary electrode; WE is the working electrode; RE is the reference electrode; SRE is the standard reference electrode (calomel)

  2. \( {E^0 ={{\hbox{$\scriptstyle 1$}}/{\hbox{$\scriptstyle 2$}} }}\left( {{E_{\text{pa}}} + {E_{\text{pc}}}} \right) \)
