This article summarizes recent progress in the post-functionalization of conjugated polymers by electrochemical methods. These electrochemical polymer reactions typically proceed via electrochemical doping of a conjugated polymer film, followed by chemical transformation. Examples include the quantitative oxidative fluorination of polyfluorenes and oxidative halogenation of polythiophenes, as well as the reductive hydrogenation of polyfluorenones. The degree of functionalization, otherwise known

This review highlights the recent progress of electron-donating polymers containing thio-cyclic units (tetrathiafulvalene, dithiafulvene, thioketene dimers). These polymers with TTF derivatives in the main chain and side chain have been studied with the aim of improving processability of their charge transfer complexes and increasing the dimensionality of their conducting paths in the solid state. This review also highlights a novel synthetic methodology of the electroactive polymers, i.e., cycl

Twice as good: Parallel electrochemical oxidation and reduction of a single parent polymer (P1) simultaneously provided two corresponding polymers (P2 and P3), which were easily separated. Upon UV irradiation, the color of the emissions of the P2 and P3 films were drastically different to that of P1 (left). Parallel reactions on a bipolar electrode afforded a multicolored gradient film (right). As a service to our authors and readers, this journal provides supporting information supplied by the

Novel carborane-triphenylamine dyad 1 was successfully prepared. The dyad exhibited the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) property in a solution of THF/water [1/99 (v/v)]. The cyclic voltammogram of 1 measured in tetrabutylammonium perchlorate (TBAP)/DMF using glassy carbon (GC) disk working electrode showed redox couples both at anodic side and cathodic side derived from redox responses of the triarylamine and the carborane moieties, respectively. The mediatory behavior of 1 for the anodic oxi

Anodic fluorodesulfurization of a poly(fluorene) derivative coated on a Pt electrode was successfully carried out in an ionic liquid hydrogen fluoride salt, yielding a alternating copolymer containing a difluorofluorene moiety.

Alternating current (AC) bipolar electropolymerization of 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) using a gold (Au) wire as a bipolar electrode (BPE) on a substrate surface resulted in gradual growth of the corresponding poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) thin film from the terminals of the Au wire on the substrate. Studies to clarify the polymerization behavior were conducted under various electrolytic conditions, including monomer concentration, applied frequency, monomer structure, and substr

Abstract To overcome the problem of electrochemical fluorination methods using a large amount of supporting electrolytes and fluorine sources, we employed a split bipolar electrode (s‐BPE) system, in which electrode reactions occur in a low concentration of supporting electrolyte and electricity is monitored. We optimized the electrochemical parameters for the s‐BPE system using a U‐shaped electrochemical cell and investigated the electrochemical fluorination of triphenylmethane as a model subst

Filme mit Potential: Wird ein Poly(3-methylthiophen)(PT)-Film auf einer bipolaren Elektrode mit Bu4NPF6 als Leitelektrolyt dotiert, nimmt der Film PF6−-Ionen mit einem Gradienten der Zusammensetzung entlang des Potentialgradienten der Elektrode auf. Die Verwendung von Et4NCl ergibt eine teilweise Chlorierung des PT-Films, die den Potentialgradienten der bipolaren Elektrode widerspiegelt (siehe Bild; Einschub: Photo des Films).
