Abstract

Electrochemical copolymerization of furan and 3-chlorothiophene was performed at constant electrode potential in a binary solvent system consisting of boron trifluoride diethyl etherate + ethyl ether (BFEE + EE; ratio 1:2) and trifluoroacetic acid (10% by volume). The homopolymers and copolymers obtained were studied with cyclic voltammetry, in situ ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy, in situ resonance Raman spectroscopy, and in situ conductivity measurements. The spectroelectrochemical properties of the copolymers show intermediate features between polyfuran and poly(3-chlorothiophene). The conductivity changes of homo- and copolymer films are almost completely reversible when the potential shift direction is reversed.

Notes

  1. The comparison is only qualitative because the actual amount of polymer is not known and can hardly be determined. Taking the peak currents and peak areas of the respective CVs as qualitative indicators, the comparison seems to be valid nevertheless.
