Heterobimetallic conducting polymers based on salophen complexes via electrosynthesis

Abstract

In this work we report the first electrochemical synthesis of two copolymeric bimetallic conducting polymers by a simple anodic electropolymerization method. The adopted precursors are electroactive transition metal (M=Ni, Cu...

Derivatives of penta-, hexa-, and hepta-coordinated tin with Schiff bases and 1,10-phenanthroline: structure, redox and optoelectronic properties

“…A number of studies of the electrochemical behavior of L3 derivatives (''Salophen'') with transition metals, [37][38][39][40] as well as individual works related to rare earth elements 41 and main group elements 42 are known from the literature, however, as far as we know, the corresponding tin derivatives have not been studied. Such compound 4 is expected to have a significantly lower reduction potential than that of compounds 1 and 2 due to its structure containing two Schiff-base nitrogen atoms that form strong intramolecular bonds with tin as well as a large aromatic moiety.…”

Exploring Deposition Techniques and Supramolecular Arrangement in Thin Films for Sensor Applications

“…In this setup, the potential is applied between the reference and working electrode, and it can be performed in both potentiodynamic and potentiostatic modes. In the potentiodynamic ED, the electrode potential is varied during the deposition steps to achieve specific coating properties providing information about the ED mechanism cycleby-cycle [211]. In potentiodynamic mode, the supramolecular arrangement, including the morphology and thickness of the film, can be controlled by the deposition rate (scan rate) [212], the number of potential cycles, and the potential range.…”
