Synthesis and spectroscopic and electrochemical properties of TTF-derivatized polycarbazole

摘要

Two polycarbazoles with tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) as pendant group were synthesized first by Yamamoto coupling reaction using Ni(1,5-cyclooctadiene)(2) (Ni(COD)(2)) as the catalyst. The structures of the polymers and their intermediates were characterized by H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR, MS, GPC, UV-vis, and IR. The electrochemical behaviors of the polymers were characterized by cyclic voltarnmetry. These polymers exhibit higher conductivity up to about 0.1 S cm(-1).
