The post‐polymerization modification of selenophene‐containing (co)polymers is presented based on the electrochemical polymer reaction (ECPR). Selenophene‐ or thiophene‐containing (co)polymers, which are known to be promising materials in optoelectronic devices, were synthesized through Kumada catalyst transfer polymerization to give their homopolymers and block‐ or statistical copolymers with various side chains. Each of the series of polymers was subjected to post‐modification through the ECPR, and the reaction efficiencies were systematically compared. Selenophene‐containing polymers were successfully modified with better ECPR reaction efficiencies than their thiophene analogues. Moreover, the dramatic inhibiting effect of a branched side chain on the ECPR was observed and rationalized, which was very unexpected. Based on the basic tendency observed here, we have finally demonstrated the selective modification of a single segment of a rod−rod block copolymer for the first time.

This report focuses on recent developments using bipolar electrochemistry as an effective tool for the fabrication of gradient polymer surfaces. The electrochemical doping and reactions of conducting polymers under an applied potential distribution using bipolar electrodes have been carried out to prepare conducting polymers with composition gradients. Indirect electrolysis using an electrogenerated metal catalyst on bipolar electrodes successfully afforded gradually modified polymer surfaces and gradient polymer brushes using vinyl monomers. The newly designed cylinder bipolar electrode system is available for site-selective applications of electric potentials, which produced electrochemical patterning of conducting polymer films.

“…Combination of electroclick with conducting polymer platforms has attracted a focused attention since it promises applications for organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), sensors, and polymer solar cells, where good electrical conductivity and easy functionalization are crucial [359]. Films composed of poly(pyrrole) [360], poly(thiophene) [361], PEDOT [362], and PANI [363][364][365] have been functionalized by standard CuAAc.…”

No. of Pages 30 2 G. Rydzek et al. SummaryDuring the last few decades, electrochemistry and electrode modification have seen a tremendous fall off in creativity with the emergence of the nanoarchitectonic-based layerby-layer (LbL) film deposition technique. An unprecedented variety of building blocks can be immobilized on surfaces, leading to progress in several fields including sensing, electrochromic, electro-responsive and energy devices. This review describes the state of the art of electrochemical devices based on LbL assemblies, with a focus on supercapacitors, biosensors, and electroresponsive LbL such as electrodissolution/electroswelling of coatings. Recently, electrochemistry has also been used as an ''active trigger'' to induce the formation of films by covalent coupling, leading to new nanoarchitectonic approaches beyond the LbL strategy. These emerging electro-coupling reactions, including electroclick and carbazole chemistry, open new perspectives toward architecture and patterning of functional films and are extensively reviewed.
