Polymer films on electrodes Part 29.Electropolymerized poly(7,14-diphenylacenaphtho[1,2-k]fluoranthene): electrochemistry and conductance of a novel electrochromic hydrocarbon ladder polymer film

摘要

The electropolymerization of 7,14-diphenylacenaphtho[1,2-k]fluoranthene on a platinum or indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode produces an electroactive film which displays fluorescence an delectrochromism. We report a study of the electrochemical properties and other characteristics of this film, such as the resistance dependence by the potential applied to the electrochemical properties and other characteristics of this film, such as teh resistance dependence by the potnetial applied to the electrode. In particular, the film showed dramatic changes in the resistance and color as a function of the potnetial applied to the film because of changes in teh electronic state of the polymer. Atomic force microscopy, scanning electrochemical microscopy, and electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance studies were also carried out to characterize the polymer film.
