Electrochemical Synthesis and Vibrational Mode Analysis of poly (3-methelthiophene)

摘要

Poly (3-methyl thiophene) thin films have been synthesized electrochemically on flat gold electrodesby anodic oxidation of monomer. The resulting polymers were characterized by cyclic voltammetry,FT-IR, and SEM techniques. Interpretation of experimental data was supported by the semi-empiricalPM3, and ab initio calculations of the B3LYP/6-31G** using Hyperchem package. The computedvibrational spectra are in good agreement with the experimentally determined spectra.
