Symmetric Naphthalenediimidequaterthiophenes for Electropolymerized Electrochromic Thin Films
Symmetric Naphthalenediimidequaterthiophenes for Electropolymerized Electrochromic Thin Films
Abstract
A new symmetric naphthalenediimidequaterthiophene (s-NDI2ODT4) was synthesized and exhibited the capability to electropolymerize alone or with EDOT affording polymers with controlled donor/acceptor monomer ratios. s-NDI2ODT4-EDOT-based copolymers showed low band gaps, wide optical absorption ranges extending to the near IR region, tuned electrical properties, thin-film surface morphology and hydrophilicity as well as high coloration efficiency in electrochromic devices.
