Summary: | Differently linked carbazole derivatives possessing pyrene and selenophene moieties were electrochemically investigated. Cyclic voltammetric as well as differential pulse voltammetric studies demonstrated that they display comparatively low oxidation potentials. One-step cyclic voltammetric process was used for the preparation of their highly dimensional, stable and electroactive polymers. The electrodeposited polymers displayed unusual properties upon electrochemical doping that may help tailoring the dimensional features of these polymers. The electrodeposited polymers were investigated by electrochemical and optical tools and correlation between different parameters such as oxidation characteristics or absorption behavior and the effective conjugation length was established. Spectroelectrochemical investigations showed the polaronic and bipoloronic features of the electropolymers. Multielectrochromic properties of electrodeposited polymers on successive doping suggested their application as electroactive layers in electrochromic devices. |
