Article Citation - WoS: 26Citation - Scopus: 28A New Electrochromic Copolymer Based on Dithienylpyrrole and Edot(Elsevier Science Bv, 2013) Algi, Melek Pamuk; Oztas, Zahide; Tirkes, Seha; Cihaner, Atilla; Algi, FatihA new compound, namely diethyl 2,5-di(thiophen-2-yl)-1H-pyrrole-3,4-dicarboxylate (1), was copolymerized with 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) via electrochemical method. The copolymer exhibits multicolor electrochromic property: It is found that the copolymer, poly(1-co-EDOT), has a specific optical band gap (1.71 eV) to reflect and/or transmit reddish brown color in the neutral state, and it can be switched to reddish orange, orange, yellowish green and blue colors upon oxidation in a low switching time (1.0 s). Importantly, these colors are essential for camouflage and/or full color electrochromic device/display applications. In addition to these, the obtained copolymer has a coloration efficiency of 173 cm(2)/C at 500 nm. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V.

Importantly, these compounds provide opportunity to be used as crosslinkers, since they have three electroactive donor sides. Furthermore, these compounds are polymerized successfully via electrochemical polymerization. The corresponding polymers (P1 and P2) are also characterized by using electrochemical and optical methods in monomer-free electrolyte solutions. It is found that both polymers P1 and P2 exhibit reversible oxidation peaks with half wave potentials of 0.70 V and 0.98 V vs. Ag/AgCl, respectively, and they have low optical band gaps (1.88 eV for P1 and 1.72 eV for P2). It is also noted that the polymers exhibit multielectrochromic properties upon doping: P1 can be switched from pink color in the neutral state to blue color in the oxidized state and P2 can be switched from transmissive pink color when neutralized to transmissive blue color when oxidized.
