Electrochemical and spectroscopic properties of poly-4,4′-dialkoxy-2,2′-bipyrroles

Abstract

The structure and the electrochemical and spectral properties of two conductive electrochemically polymerized substituted bipyrroles 4,4'-methoxy-2,2'-bipyrrole and 4,4'-buthoxy-2,2'-bipyrrole were studied and compared. The polymers were characterized by cyclic voltammetry, FT-Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and in situ conductivity measurements at different pH and redox state.
