Electrosyntheses of free-standing poly (dibenzofuran) films

摘要

High quality free-standing poly (dibenzofuran) (PDBF) films with conductivity of 10 deg S cm~(-1) were synthesized electrochemically by direct anodic oxidation of dibenzofuran in mixed electrolytes of boron trifluoride diethyl etherate (BFEE) containing 30 percent trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) (by volume). The structure analysis of PDBF was performed using UV-vis and FTIR spectroscopy. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the electrodeposition of free-standing PDBF films.
