Abstract: | The influence of weakly coordinating anions with different shapes and substituents has been studied to get the overoxidation resistance limit of the material, ORL. The anions utilized are derivatives of [Co(C2B9H11)2]−, [B12H12]2− and [B12H11NH3]−. The following tendencies have been established (1) boron cluster monoanions are to date the anions that offer the highest stability to overoxidation of PPy doped materials (2) the ORL stability of the material can not be attributed only to the shape of the cluster (3) monoanionic clusters are far superior than dianionic to get an ORL rise (4) cluster charge density reduction results in ORL rise as has been observed in [Co(C2B9H11)2]− after incorporation of electron-withdrawing substituents with no electron back-donation (5) globular, rigid and large monoanions are less suitable for enhanced ORL values than elongated and non-rigid species (6) adequate anion's substitution produce a rise in the ORL of the material, thus polyether side-arms are beneficial with [Co(C2B9H11)2]−, whereas, T-shaped methylaryl groups are appealing in [B12H11NH3]− based materials, respectively, (7) substituents on the anions usually imply higher difficulty in the materials' growth. The high boron contents in these materials has permitted to learn on the fate of the doping anions during the overoxidation process. There is a built-up of the concentration of the doping anion in the electrolyte near surface area, whereas, a depletion is observed in the nearest inner layers. |
