A comparative study of electrochemical, optical properties and electropolymerization behavior of thiophene- and furan-substituted diketopyrrolopyrrole
Description
Electropolymerization is a promising approach to produce thin films of active organic conjugated materials on a desired conducting substrate. In this work, an electropolymerization study has been carried out on two diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP)-based monomers 2,5-bis(2-butyloctyl)-3,6-di(furan-2-yl)pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole-1,4(2H,5H)-dione (BO-DPPF) and 2,5-bis(2-butyloctyl)-3,6-di(thiophen-2-yl)pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole-1,4(2H,5H)-dione (BO-DPPT). These monomers consist of thiophene and furan heterocyclic moieties attached to a DPP core with a common solubilizing alkyl chain (butyl-octyl). The properties of these monomers were analyzed via differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, UV–Vis spectrometry (UV) and photoluminescence. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) studies indicate the presence of irreversible oxidation and reduction reactions. The electropolymerization of BO-DPPF and BO-DPPT electron-deficient monomers to form polymer films on a glassy carbon electrode is achieved by applying a potential between −2 V and 2 V versus ferrocene for up to 50 cycles. The properties of the polymers were investigated using the cyclic voltammetry (CV) technique.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
