Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 14Electrochemical Synthesis of New Conducting Copolymers Containing Pseudo-Polyether Cages With Pyrrole(Elsevier Science Sa, 2007) Cihaner, AtillaConducting copolymers have been synthesized via electrochemical oxidation of pyrrole (Py) in the presence of monomer 1, 11 -bis(1,1-pyrrole)-3,6,9-trioxaundecane (I) in an electrolytic solution containing 0.1 M tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate (TBAPF(6)) dissolved in acetonitrile. It is observed that reversible redox behavior of poly(I-co-Py)s shifts to more positive potentials with the increasing amount of I in the comonomer mixture, indicating formation of a copolymer. It is also found that increasing the ratio of I in the comonomer mixture decreases the conductivity of the obtained polymer films. The dark electrical conductivity measurements in the temperature range of 300-100 K revealed the extrinsic type of conduction with activation energy values being in the range of 82.3-16.9 meV.

The X-ray fluorescence analysis revealed that the films have a weight percentage of similar to11.5% Ag, 61.17% In, and 27.33% S which corresponds to 1:5:8 stoichiometric composition. X-ray analysis of the films reveals the polycrystalline nature of the films. The lattice parameter (a) of the films was calculated to be 10.784(5) Angstrom. The dark n-type electrical conductivity of the films was measured in the temperature range of 30-350 K. The conductivity data analysis shows that the thermionic emission of the charge carriers having activation energies of 147 and 224 meV in the temperature ranges of 130-230 and 240-350 K, respectively, are the dominant transport mechanism in the films. The variable range hopping transport mechanism is dominant below 130 K. The room temperature photocurrent-photon energy dependency predicts a band gap of 1.91 eV of the films. The illumination intensity-photocurrent dependency measured in the intensity range of 13-235 W cm(-2) reveals monomolecular recombination (linear) in the films and bimolecular recombination (sublinear) at the film surface corresponding to low and high applied illumination intensities, respectively. The time-dependant photocurrent measured at fixed illumination intensity reveals a response time of 0.85, 2.66 and 10.0 s in the time periods of 0-0.5, 0.5-1.0, and 1.0-10.0 s, respectively.
