Conductivity In Redox Modified Conducting Polymers. 2. Enhanced Redox Conductivity in Ferrocene-Substituted Polypyrroles and Polythiophenes

Self-assembly of mono- and multilayers of polyconjugated conducting polymers

“…In order to obtain redox-modified conducting polymers, we synthesised, as starting monomers, compounds 16 -18 32) . Prompted by the fact that we got evidence for adsorptive behaviour of these compounds, we subsequently decided to use them to obtain SAMs on indiumtin-oxide (ITO) electrodes 33) .…”

Electrochromic Polymers

“…These studies showed that insertion of ferrocene into a polyconjugated chain increases the conductivity of the chain [36]. Examples include ferrocene molecules which were directly inserted into a polymer chain are also available in the literature [37].…”

Ferrocene clicked polypyrrole derivatives: effect of spacer group on electrochemical properties and post-polymerization functionalization

“…[12][13][14] Up to date, several attempts have been made to produce polypyrrole derivatives having covalently attached ferrocene moiety. [15][16][17][18] However, synthesis of such polymers through electrochemical polymerization was found to be tricky where in most cases it was only accomplished through electrochemical copolymerization in the presence of similar heterocyclic units not having ferrocene unit. [19] Since 2001, there has been a growing interest in click chemistry and it has made a significant impact on material and life sciences.…”
