“…FT-IR and Raman spectroscopy verifies that the polymer chain obtained is mainly conjugated, as is the PFu film synthesized by electrochemical reduction of 2,5-dibromofuran using Ni(bipy) 3 2+ as catalyst, 5 and much better than the PFu film electropolymerized in acetonitrile at 2.1-2.3V vs SCE using NaClO 4 as the electrolyte. 7,8 The obtained PFu film shows fairly good electrochemical reversibility and stability in organic solvents, while it undergoes irreversible oxidation in aqueous solution. On the other hand, the undoped state of PFu is very stable in air, similar to that of the undoped polythiophene.…”
