Electrochemistry and electrogenerated chemiluminescence of films of the conjugated polymer 4-methoxy-(2-ethylhexoxyl)-2,5-polyphenylenevinylene
Abstract
The thin film electrochemistry and electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) of the title compound were obtained on Pt electrodes (CH3CN/0.1 M tetrabutylammonium fluoroborate). Orange luminescence (λmax=622 nm) was obtained by pulsing the potentials between +0.40 and -2.35 V versus Fc/Fc+ as well as by oxidizing the system in the presence of TPAH (TPAH=tri-n-propylamine), which generates the strongly reducing intermediate TPA{radical dot}, and by reducing the system in the presence of S2O82-, which produces the strongly oxidizing intermediate SO4-{radical dot}.
