Electropolymerization of thienyl tethered comonomers and application towards the electrocatalytic reduction of nitrobenzene
2019
The synthesis of different π-spacered thiophene comonomers via Suzuki cross-coupling in good synthetic yields was accomplished. Potentiodynamic electropolymerization of these precursors on ITO electrode by constant potential electrolysis results in the deposition of thin films of polymers between 0.05 and 0.2 μM. Interestingly, the as synthesized π-conjugated polymers exhibit electrochromic behaviour upon electrochemical oxidation. On the application side, the synthesized electropolymers showed catalytic activity better than glassy carbon towards electrochemical reduction of nitrobenzene.
