A new electrochromic polymer, poly(2,3-diplienyl-5,7-bis(3,4-ethylenedioxy-2-thienyl)thieno[3,4-b]pyrazine) (PGS) is electrochemically synthesized and its electrochromic properties are reported. PGS showed well defined electrochemical characteristics with a relatively low oxidation potential of 0. 18 V vs Ag/Ag+. Polymer also exhibited a definite redox couple at applied cathodic potentials, indicating n-doping characteristic of the polymer. Spectroelectrochemistry and previously unattempted technique, ESR data was utilized to confirm the existence of dual type pi-pi* transitions centered at 522 nm and 1062 nm. The polymer exhibits multi-color electrochromism where three distinct colors are achievable by varying the redox state of the polymer between saturated red-purple color, blue and colorless-gray in neutral, n- and p-doped states, respectively. Copolymerization as a facile method to tune the electrochromic properties of the material was also realized in the presence of 2,2'-bis(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (BiEDOT). Both polymers exhibit very short switching time (0.4 s) and express more than 45% change in the transmittance in the near-IR region, which could make these polymers useful in applications in NIR electrochromic devices.

A ferrocene functionalized multichromic p and n dopable donor-acceptor-donor type conjugated polymer Ozdemir, Serife; BALAN, Abidin; BARAN, Derya; Doğan, Özdemir; Toppare, Levent Kamil (Elsevier BV, 2010-10-01) Ferrocene substituted donor-acceptor-donor type polymer; poly(5,8-bis(2,3-dihydrothieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxin-5-yl)-2-(naphthalen-2-yl)-3-ferrocenyl-4a,8a-dihydroquinoxaline) (PDEFNQ) was synthesized and its electrochromic properties were investigated. Cyclic voltammetry and spectroelectrochemistry studies for PDEFNQ showed that it is a multichromic green to transmissive polymer with high tendency to be both p and n doped. PDEFNQ is foreseen as a promising candidate for various applications.
Dual type complementary colored polymer electrochromic devices utilized by 3-ester substituted thiophenes CAMURLU, P; Çırpan, Ali; Toppare, Levent Kamil (Elsevier BV, 2004-10-15) Dual type polymer electrochromic devices (ECDs) based on potentiodynamically coated films of octanoic acid 2-thiophen-3-yl-ethyl ester (OTE), decanedioic acid bis-(2-thiophen-3-yl-ethyl) ester (DATE) and ethylene dioxythiophene (EDOT) were constructed. The former two function as anodically coloring layers and the latter as a cathodically coloring layer in between tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate (TBAFB) poly(methylmethacrylate) gel media. The spectroelectrochemistry, switching ability and stability of t...

Electrochemical polymerization of a new low-voltage oxidized thienylenepyrrole-derivative and its electrochromic device application Carbas, Buket Bezgin; KIVRAK, Arif; TEKE, Ecem; Zora, Metin; Önal, Ahmet Muhtar (Elsevier BV, 2014-09-01) Synthesis of a new monomer, 2,5-bis-(2,3-dihydrothieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxin-5-yl)-1-phenyl-1H-pyrrole (ENE), from pyrrole, iodobenzene and 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT), and its electropolymerization are reported. ENE was oxidized at a low oxidation potential (0.45 V vs. Ag/AgCl) and successfully electropolymerized in acetonitrile containing 0.1 M NaClO4 and LiClO4 electrolyte mixture. The resulting polymer, P(ENE), revealed five distinctive colors upon doping, which indicated that the polymer is multichro...
