Systematic study on chemical oxidative and solid‐state polymerization of poly(3,4‐ethylenedithiathiophene)

Systematic research on the synthesis, chemical oxidative polymerization of 3,4‐ethylenedithiathiophene (EDTT) in the presence of surfactants or not, and solid‐state polymerization of 2,5‐dibromo‐3,4‐ethylenedithiathiophene (DBEDTT) and 2,5‐diiodo‐3,4‐ethylenedithiathiophene (DIEDTT) under solventless and oxidant‐free conditions has been investigated. Effects of oxidants (Fe³⁺ salts, persulfate salts, peroxides, and Ce⁴⁺ salts), solvents (H₂O, CH₃CN/H₂O, and CH₃CN), surfactants, and so forth on polymerization reactions and properties of poly(3,4‐ethylenedithiathiophene) (PEDTT) were discussed. Characterizations indicated that FeCl₃ was more suitable oxidant for oxidative polymerization of EDTT, while CH₃CN was a better solvent to form PEDTT powders with higher yields and electrical conductivities. Dispersing these powders in aqueous polystyrene sulfonic acid (PSSH) solution showed better stability and film‐forming property than sodium dodecylsulfate and sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate. Oxidative polymerization of EDTT in aqueous PSSH solutions formed the solution processable PEDTT dispersions with good storing stability and film‐forming performance. Solvent treatment showed indistinctive effect on electrical conductivity of free‐standing PEDTT films. As‐formed PEDTT synthesized from solid‐state polymerization showed similar electrical conductivity, poorer stability, but better thermoelectric property than oxidative polymerization. Contrastingly, PEDTT synthesized from DIEDTT showed higher electrical conductivity (0.18 S cm^?1) than DBEDTT which showed better thermoelectric property with higher power factor value (6.7 × 10^?9 W m^?1 K^?2). © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis and electropolymerization of a perylenebisimide-functionalized 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) derivative

[reaction: see text] We have developed a convenient and straightforward procedure for the preparation of functionalized 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) systems by using a new chloromethyl-EDOT derivative as a versatile synthon. Based on this procedure, novel suitably functionalized perylenetetracarboxylic diimide (PDI) dye derivatives covalently linked to 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene moieties have been synthesized and electrochemically polymerized to yield a donor-acceptor PEDOT derivative with an enhanced absorption cross-section.     

Thieno[3,2‐b]Thiophene End‐Capped all‐Sulfur Analog of 3,4‐Ethylenedioxythiophene and its Eletrosynthesized Polymer: Is Distorted Conformation Not Suitable for Electrochromism?

By employing planar thieno[3,2‐b]thiophene (TT) as end‐capped units and famous 3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) or its all‐sulfur analog 3,4‐ethylenedithiathiophene (EDTT) as cores, two conjugated oligomer, TT‐EDOT‐TT and TT‐EDTT‐TT, have been synthesized and electropolymerized into electrochromic polymer films, P(TT‐EDOT‐TT) and P(TT‐EDTT‐TT), respectively. Due to strongly noncovalent inter/intramolecular interactions from S? S attraction of TT‐EDTT‐TT, it has twisted molecular configuration in contrast to planar TT‐EDOT‐TT. Spectroscopic, electrochemical, morphological as well as theoretical calculation studies of these oligomers or polymers were carried out to reveal the significant influence of such molecular geometry on their physicochemical and optoelectronic properties. According to electrochromic kinetics, P(TT‐EDTT‐TT) presented preferable electrochromic behavior such as the higher optical contrast (70.8%), favorable coloration efficiency (331.3 cm² C^?1) and fast response time (0.72 s). This research will help us deeply understand the effect of spatial organization of precursor molecules on the properties of electrochromic polymers and provides a promising strategy to develop high‐performance electrochromic materials. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Specific recognition of a nucleobase-functionalized poly(3,4-ethylenedioxithiophene) (PEDOT) in aqueous media

In this Letter we report the synthesis, characterization, and electrochemical investigation of a 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) derivative covalently linked to the nucleobase uracil. The successful electrochemical polymerization of this derivative has provided modified electrodes with a novel functional poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) derivative. Recognition experiments in aqueous media have shown the specific recognition of the complementary base adenine. The electrochemical detection of the selective binding of nucleobases to this PEDOT derivative in aqueous media can be of particular interest for electrochemical sensor applications in physiological media.

Synthesis of 2-(1-aminocyclopropyl)pyrrolidine-3,4-diol derivatives applying titanium-mediated reaction conditions

The titanium-mediated cyclopropanation reaction using Ti(OⁱPr)₃Me/EtMgBr/BF₃·OEt₂ has been applied to various 2-cyanopyrrolidines for the synthesis of functionalized 2-(1-aminocyclopropyl)pyrrolidine-3,4-diol derivatives (dideoxyiminoalditols). Under the same experimental conditions the trans-5-azidomethyl-2-cyanopyrrolidine derivative was not cyclopropanated but reduced into the corresponding 5-amino-2-cyano derivative. After polyol deprotection 2-(1-aminocyclopropyl)pyrrolidine-3,4-diols were obtained and their inhibitory activity towards 13 glycosidases has been evaluated. (2S,3S,4R,5S)-2-(1-Aminocyclopropyl)-5-methylpyrrolidine-3,4-diol (38), which has the same absolute configuration as l-fucose, is a moderate (IC₅₀=44 μM), but selective, inhibitor of α-l-fucosidase from human placenta.     

The reactions of dimethyl 2,5-bis(diazo)-3,4-dikentoadipate with aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds

Heating the title compound with benzene provides a mixture of dimethyl 1,3-dihydroxynaphthalene-2,4-dicarboxylate and 3-carbomethoxy-4-hydroxy-5-phenylpyrone which rearranges on melting to the aforementioned naphthalene derivative. The initial substitution reaction appears to proceed through an intermediary pyronyl cation. The scope of this potential ring annelation reaction has been investigated for a range of aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds. Heating with basic substrates converts the bisdazo compound into dimethyl 4-hydroxypyrazole-3,5-dicarboxylate, while heating with isopropanol yields dimethyl 4,5-dihydroxypyridazine-3,6-dicarboxylate.

Conducting poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-montmorillonite exfoliated nanocomposites

Exfoliated nanocomposites formed by poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) and different concentrations of non-modified montmorillonite (bentonite), which range from 1% to 10% w/w, have been prepared by anodic electropolymerization in aqueous solution. Analyses of the electrochemical and electrical properties reveal that the electroactivity of the nanocomposites is higher than that of the individual homopolymer, while the electrical conductivity of the two systems is practically identical. On the other hand, the exfoliated distribution of the clay in the polymeric matrix and the morphology of the prepared materials have been characterized using transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and atomic force microscopy. The overall of the results represents a significant improvement with respect to other nanocomposites constituted by conducting polymers and clays, including those involving poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene), and evidences the reliability of the preparation procedure employed in this work.
