Facile synthesis of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) by acid-assisted polycondensation of 5-bromo-2,3-dihydro-thieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxine

Solvent-free synthesis, coating and morphogenesis of conductive polymer materials through spontaneous generation of activated monomers

“…In a previous work, the designed and synthesized unstable monomer vapors facilitated the deposition of a conductive polymer. 13 In the present study, the spontaneous generation of the activated monomers facilitated the synthesis, coating, and morphogenesis of conductive polymers under ambient pressure and low temperature conditions.

Functionalization of poly(bis‐thiophene methine)s via facile C–C bulk polymerization and their application as chemosensors for acid detection

“…As an important kind of conjugated polymer, polythiophene attracts much interest, especially its optical–electronic properties in lots of fields, such as electronic papers, optical displays, memory devices and so on. Wet‐process‐based general synthesis methods such as chemical oxidation, electrochemical and metal‐catalyzed polymerizations have been employed and also the latest promising dry‐process method of solid‐state polymerization (SSP) has been invented in the new century. The chemical bonds involved for the dry‐process method can be divided into two types, which are C–C and newly built C–H bulk polycondensation, i.e.…”

Method of Preparation of Soluble PEDOT: Self‐Polymerization of EDOT without Oxidant at Room Temperature

“…[ 19 ] In addition, SSP requires symmetrical di‐halogen‐substituted monomers and usually produces moderately to highly conductive polymers because of the generation of an oxidant of bromine or iodine during its polycondensation procedure. [ 20 ] Recently, Officer [ 21 ] and Xia [ 22 ] independently found that PEDOT can be formed just by the simple heating of mono‐bromo‐substituted EDOT(Br‐EDOT). Meanwhile, Swager group successfully synthesized corresponding polymers based on mono‐chloro‐substituted EDOT derivatives in the presence of a Lewis acid.…”
