Abstract: | We present electrochemical and spectral properties of symmetric monomers 1,3,5-tris(aryl)benzenes and 2,4,6-tris(aryl)-1-phenols and their polymers. These compounds contain thienyl, furyl or EDOT moieties attached to central benzene or phenol ring at the meta-position, synthesized by a Stille cross-coupling procedure. All monomers are electroactive and undergo electropolymerization creating thin films on an electrode surface. Polymers with meta-linkages were obtained by electrochemical oxidation. Detailed cyclic voltammetry and in situ UV-vis spectroelectrochemistry show that polymers with hydroxy groups exhibit higher conductivity and better stability than with benzene core. Interesting and different behavior occurs for 2,4,6-tris(2-thienyl)-1-phenol, for which the characteristic, sharp, redox peak is observed. |
