We herein report the electrosynthesis of an aminomethyl functionalized poly（3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene）（PEDOT） derivative, poly（2＇-aminomethyl-3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene）（PEDOT-Me NH2）, in CH2Cl2-Bu4NPF6（0.1...We herein report the electrosynthesis of an aminomethyl functionalized poly（3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene）（PEDOT） derivative, poly（2＇-aminomethyl-3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene）（PEDOT-Me NH2）, in CH2Cl2-Bu4NPF6（0.1 mol·L^-1） system containing 2% boron trifluoride diethyl etherate（BFEE）. The electrochemical behavior, structure characterization, thermal properties and surface morphology of this novel polymer were systematically investigated by cyclic voltammetry（CV）, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy（FTIR）, thermogravimetry（TG） and scanning electron microscopy（SEM）, respectively. Electrochemistry results demonstrated that PEDOT-Me NH2 film displayed good redox properties and high electrochemical stability. Besides, PEDOT-Me NH2 films exhibited the electrochromic nature with obvious color changing from purple in the reduced form to blue upon oxidation. By further investigation, kinetic studies revealed that PEDOT-Me NH2 film had decent contrast ratio（41.8%）, favorable coloration efficiency（152.1 cm^2·C^-1）, low switching voltages and moderate response time（2.4 s）. Satisfactory results implied that the obtained PEDOT-Me NH2 film is a promising optoelectronic material and holds promise for electrochromic devices and display applications.展开更多
Novel conducting oligocatecholborane （OCOB） with electrical conductivity of 3.73 × 10^-2 S cm-1 was successfully synthesized by low-potential electropolymerization of catecholborane （COB） in boron trifluoride...Novel conducting oligocatecholborane （OCOB） with electrical conductivity of 3.73 × 10^-2 S cm-1 was successfully synthesized by low-potential electropolymerization of catecholborane （COB） in boron trifluoride diethyl etherate at 0.70 V versus Ag/AgC1. FT-IR and ^1H-NMR spectra, together with the computational results, proved that COB was polymerized through the coupling at C（4） and C（5} positions and the reactive B- H bond was stable during the electrochemical polymerization. The resulting product was mainly composed of oligomers with short chain lengths by GPC and mass spectral results. The as-formed OCOB film showed good electrochemistry in monomer-free electrolytes with the electrochromic property from opaque blue to sap green. Fluorescence studies indicated that soluble OCOB can emit bright blue light under excitation of 365 nm UV light with the maximum emission at 396 nm and a fluorescence quantum yield of 0.21. The deposited OCOB also exhibited favorable thermal stability and smooth and compact morphology even at high magnifications.展开更多
