Iron-Catalyzed Polymerization of Alkoxysulfonate-Functionalized 3,4-Ethylenedioxythiophene Gives Water-Soluble Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) of High Conductivity

Abstract: Chemical polymerization of a 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene derivative bearing a sulfonate group (EDOT-S) is reported. The polymer, PEDOT-S, is fully water-soluble and has been produced by polymerizing EDOT-S in water, using Na2S2O8 and a catalytic amount of FeCl3. Elemental analysis and XPS measurements indicate that PEDOT-S is a material with a substantial degree of self-doping, but also contains free sulfate ions as charge-balancing counterions of the oxidized polymer. Apart from self-doping PEDOT-S, the side c… Show more

“…Since the first watersoluble conducting polymers 14,15 were reported, water-soluble PEDOT derivatives have been enabled for example through poly(4-(2,3-dihydrothieno [3,4-b]- [1,4]dioxin-2-yl-methoxy)-1-butanesulfonic acid, sodium salt (PEDOT-S). [16][17][18][19] We recently demonstrated human epithelial cell detachment using a PEDOT-S:H thin film. 20 In PEDOT-S:H, Na + has during synthesis been replaced by H + (or rather H 3 O + ) as the charge compensating ion to the sulphonate groups.…”

“…[17] The synthesis of conjugated polymers that enable easy processing in aqueous media has been one of the major challenges in this field. [18,19] Recently we reported a successful synthetic route to a fully water-soluble form of PEDOT-S. [20] This polymer showed a substantial degree of self-doping and conductivity above 12 S cm -1 . Dynamic light scattering analysis of PEDOT-S in water showed an average particle size of 2 nm, suggesting that PEDOT-S exists as single chains or aggregates of only a few polymer chains in water solution.…”
