Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 9Electrochemical Copolymerization of 2-Substituted Thiophene Derivative Linked by Polyether Bridge With Thiophene(Elsevier Science Sa, 2005) Cihaner, A; Önal, AMNew conducting copolymers have been synthesized via electrochemical oxidation of thiophene (Th) in the presence of monomer bis(2-thienyl)ethyl (1). Cyclic voltammetry (CV) studies showed that the presence of monomer I in the electrolytic solution greatly changes the CV behaviour of the formation of the polythiophene films. It is found that the increasing ratio of I was found to decrease electroactivity of copoly(I-Th). Electrochemical synthesis of copolymer films was achieved via constant potential electrolysis (CPE) in an electrolytic solution containing 0.1 M tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate (TBAPF(6)) dissolved in CH3CN. Spectroelectrochemical (SPEL) properties of the films were investigated using UV-vis spectroscopic technique. (C) 2005 Elsevier B.V.

Prior to CPE, the redox behavior of FO was investigated in the same solvent/electrolytic medium using cyclic voltammetry, CV. CPE of FO yielded an insoluble polymer deposit on the electrode surface. The product was characterized by FTIR spectroscopy techniques. The redox and spectroelectrochernical, SPEL, behavior of the polymer were studied by CV and in situ UV-Vis spectrophotometric techniques at various potentials, respectively. The conductivity was measured using a two-probe technique and the paramagnetic behavior of the polymer was monitored using in situ ESR spectroscopy. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V.

Redox behavior of the monomer was also studied in the same solvent-electrolyte couples at room temperature. Electrochemical polymerization of the monomer yielded insoluble polymer films on the electrode surface, which bears a very low conductivity, together with the low molecular weight polymers in the bulk of the solution. The decrease in the monomer concentration, during the electrochemical polymerization. was monitored by taking the cyclic voltammogram of the electrolysis solution. The effect of temperature on the rate of electrochemical polymerization was: also studied. The polymers were characterized by taking the H-1-NMR and FTIR spectra. Molecular weight of the soluble polymer was determined by vapor pressure osmometry. Thermal analysis of the polymer film and soluble polymer were done by DSC. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd.

The anodic polymerization of DB18C6 was investigated using in situ ESR and in situ UV-Vis spectroscopic techniques. Spectroelectrochemical (SPEL), properties and thermal analysis of the resulting polymers have been investigated using UV-Vis spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA).

The polymers were characterized using H-1 NMR and FT-IR spectroscopic techniques. It was found that both chemical and electrochemical oxidation of 2-thienyl monomers gave mainly poly(2,2'-bithiophenemethylene) due to elimination of polyether chains during the polymerization reaction. On the other hand, electrochemical oxidation of 3-thienyl monomers resulted in corresponding polymers without any cleavage of polyether bridges. Spectroelectrochemical (SPEL) properties of the products were investigated using UV-Vis spectroscopic techniques. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V.

P3FAN. and poly(4-fluoroaniline), P4FAN, have been synthesized from fluorine substituted aniline monomers in aqueous acidic medium using potassium dichromate as oxidizing agent. Characterization of polymer products has been carried out using FTIR, and NMR spectroscopic techniques. Thermal analysis of polyfluoroaniline powders was also investigated using differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis. To compare the structural properties of the polymers, polyfluoroanilines were also synthesized using ammonium peroxydisulfate as oxidizing agent. Polyfluoroanilines synthesized by chemical oxidation were doped by using iodine and the change in the paramagnetic behavior was monitored by electron spin resonance spectroscopy.
