Electrochemistry with alkyl-linked oligothiophenes

Analysis of Conjugated Polymers Conductivity by in situ Electrochemical‐Conductance Method

“…In recent years using this technique, different polymer films derived from polyfurans, PTh, PPy, PANI, polyalcoxythiophenes to organometallics polymers, dendrimer structures and conjugated radical polymers, have been examined. [81,[92][93][94][95][96][97][98][99][100][101][102][103][104][105][106][107][108][109][110] Conductance behavior, charge/discharge process, n-doping and charge trapping are the most common phenomena studied. Commonly these studies have been carried out using low scan rate values (v � 10 mV s À 1 ) in order to obtain reliable data, because some structural changes during the charge/discharge process are slow and using higher scan rates unreproducible data could be obtained.…”

Reactions drive conformations. Biomimetic properties and devices, theoretical description

“…2c shows an example of the steady state voltammetric responses of CP lms to consecutive potential sweeps from different cathodic potential limits until the same anodic potential limit from a pPy lm coating a Pt electrode. 22,37,[40][41][42][43][44] More reduced and packed initial states, attained by reduction until more cathodic potential limits, shi the beginning of the subsequent oxidation-relaxation to more anodic overpotentials: more energy is required to open the structure. Once the structure is relaxed, the oxidation charge is recovered very fast giving increasing oxidation maxima.…”
