A new organic-inorganic hybrid monomer, O-2-(9H-carbazyl) ferrocenyldithiophosphonate (CzFc), was synthesized and characterized. Electropolymerization was realized with an applied potential of 1.5 V in boron trifluoride diethyl etherate (BFEE). Spectroelectrochemical and colorimetry studies have shown that P(CzFc) has transmissive colored in neutral state. For switchable glass applications, it has to be two electrochromic polymers have tranmissive states in different oxidation states. So we were constructed dual-type complementary colored polymer switchable glass derived from P(CzFc) as anodically coloring material and P(EDOT) as cathodically coloring material in sandwich configuration. Optoelectrochemical studies indicate that the reduced state of the switchable glass shows blue color for the oxidized state whereas it shows transmissive color for the reduced state. P(CzFc)/P(EDOT) device has good switching time, high optical contrasts and excellent redox stability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
