The Redox and Optical Response of the Electrogrowth Film from a Mixture of 2,5-Bis[4-(p-Aminophenoxy)Phenylene]-1,3,4-Oxadiazole and Fluorene

Abstract

Electrochemical copolymerization of 2,5-bis[4-(p-aminophenoxy)phenylene]-1,3,4-oxadiazole (Ox) with fluorene (Fl) was carried out via consecutive multisweep cyclic voltammetry. The electrogrowth process was conducted in the potential range between 0 and 1.8 V, at a scan rate of 50 mV/s. The FTIR spectroscopy was used to solve the issues concerning the way of monomers linkage in the copolymer structure. A deep investigation of the electrogenerated copolymer film characteristics was performed by scanning electron microscopy, UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammetry.
