Electropolymerization of three-dimensional π-conjugated system based on 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT)

A 3D π-conjugated system obtained by grafting 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) on a twisted bithiophene core has been synthesized and used as precursor for electropolymerization. Preliminary investigations of its electrochemical properties shows that it can be straightforwardly electropolymerized into an electroactive conjugated material.
