The study of the electrochemical properties of new electrochromic compounds based on 3-aryl-4, 5-bis (pyridin-4-yl) isoxazoles derivatives.

Abstract

Abstract Electrochemical and optical properties of a new class of electrochromic 3-aryl-4,5-bis (pyridin-4-yl)isoxazoles derivatives containing conjugated pyridine fragments were investigated comparing with their precursor 1,2-bis(4-pyridinyl)ethylene derivative. Electrochromic cells based on synthesized substances were reversibly colored in brown upon the application of a voltage of 1.5 V.
