Abstract The poly(3,4‐dioxypyrrole) (PXDOP) family of conducting and electroactive polymers has now been developed to the point that multiple synthetic routes allow many functionalized with controllable optoelectronic redox properties. These properties, which include high conductivity, multicolor cathodic anodic electrochromism, rapid switching, these materials be used in a variety applications potentially coatings, electrochromic windows displays, chemical sensors, bioactive materials,...

Dual polymer absorptive/transmissive electrochromic (EC) window devices have been assembled using the solution-processable and high-EC-contrast PProDOT-(CH2OEtHx)2 as EC material, along with a non-color-changing electroactive polymer, poly(2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyloxy-4-yl methacrylate) (PTMA), counter electrode material. Indium−tin oxide (ITO) highly transmissive single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) film coated glass electrodes are used substrates. The use of EC/non-color-changing...

This paper reports a novel supercapacitor electrode design based on poly(3,4-propylenedioxypyrrole) (PProDOP) electropolymerized onto thin films of single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) glass substrates. permits the electropolymerization thicker PProDOP than can be deposited flat gold-coated Kapton electrodes and correspondingly greater capacitance per unit area. A pyrene functionalized polyfluorene, designated Sticky-PF, was designed used as an effective monolayer interfacial adhesion...

This Letter describes the synthesis and photophysical characterization of a Ru(II) assembly consisting metal polypyridyl complexes linked together by polyfluorene scaffold. Unlike many scaffolds incorporating saturated linkages, conjugated polymer in this system acts as functional light-harvesting component. Conformational disorder breaks conjugation backbone, resulting chain composed chromophore units, whose relative energies depend on segment lengths. Photoexcitation femtosecond laser...

We present a method for the synthesis of soluble and processable 3,4-alkylenedioxypyrrole (XDOP)-based conjugated polymers via an iododecarboxylation−deiodination polymerization methodology. Polymerization to respected PXDOP derivatives suitably high molecular weight (3.8−14.2 kDa vs polystyrene as measured by GPC) was achieved either heating neat monomers few hours or allowing them remain at room temperature several days. A family four synthesized characterized optically electrochemically....

The poly(3,4-alkylenedioxypyrrole) family of conjugated polymers (the PXDOPs) shows potential for widespread applications due to their unique electronic and optical properties; however, progress has been limited synthetic limitations. We report an optimized route a new compound, 3,4-propyledioxypyrrole-N-acetic acid (ProDOP-N-AcOH), which utilizes inexpensive reagents, high yielding steps that require little or no purification (and chromatography), can be converted, using either one two...
