Abstract
Two novel 2,2′-biimidazole-thiophene structures, 5,5′-bis(2,2′-bithiophene-5-yl)-1,1′-dimethyl-2,2′-biimidazole and 5,5′-bis(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene-2-yl)-1,1′-dimethyl-2,2′-biimidazole, have been synthesized and electrochemically polymerized. These materials underwent facile oxidation on Pt and ITO surfaces in CH2Cl2/Bu4NPF6 to yield conjugated, electroactive polymer films. The films were characterized with cyclic voltammetry, electronic absorption spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy.
