Electrochemical synthesis of poly(30-alkylterthiophenes). Characterization and applications
Résumé
A new series of polymers obtained from 30-alkyl-terthiophene monomers
have been electropolymerized aimed at using them as raw materials for the
development of electronic devices, e.g., solar cell and organic light-emitting diodes,
among others. The polymers were characterized by infrared and UV–Vis spectroscopy
and cyclic voltammetry. Cyclic voltammetry results revealed that during
polymerization both terthiophene system and substituent groups are oxidized, but
these processes are reversible.
