In this study, imine bond coupled pyrrole-carbazole-pyrrole monomers were synthesized in four steps and then directly polymerized onto ITO/glass surface via potentiodynamic electrochemical process. Electrochemical and optical bad gap of these monomers and polymers were calculated by using cyclic voltammetry and UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy. Conductivity of the polymers with different alkyl side-chain was determined by using four point probe technique. Length of the side-alkyl chain influence iodine doping and also conductivity of polymers. As a result of the spectroelectrochemical measurements, the orange color of film changed to green color with applied potential and the polymer was found to be suitable material for electrochromic applications.
