A neutral state green polymer with a superior transmissive light blue oxidized state

摘要

This report highlights the synthesis of only the second green polymer in the literature, which possesses superior properties over the first: a highly transmissive light blue color in the oxidized state with high optical contrast and excellent switching properties.rnIn the literature there is a vast amount of conducting polymer based electrochromic materials that possess red or blue colors in their neutral state. However, up to date there is only a single work that reports the synthesis of a true green polymer in the neutral state. This report highlights the synthesis of a second green polymer which possesses superior properties: a highly transmissive light blue color in its oxidized state. In addition, the polymer reveals a high optical contrast in the visible region and excellent switching properties, which make the polymer an outstanding candidate for polymer electrochromic device applications.
