Abstract

A functionalized EDOT derivative with 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (cyclam) ligand pendant to the ethylene bridge (4) and its complexes [M(4)(BF4)2], where M(II) = Cu(II), was prepared and characterized. Their electrochemical copolymerization with EDOT was studied. The electro-co-polymerized films were characterized by electrochemical methods, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and by X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy. The co-polymerization method was found to afford a good control of the metal concentration in the polymer matrix and represents a good technique for preparing electronically conductive polymers containing redox-active metal complexes.
