| Abstract: | A novel semi-conducting polymer poly(9-bromophenanthrene) (P9BP) was synthesized electrochemically by direct anodic oxidation of it is monomer 9-bromophenanthrene (9BP) in boron trifluoride diethyl etherate (BFEE). The oxidation onset potential of 9BP in this medium was measured to be only 1.33 V vs. saturated calomel electrode (SCE). P9BP films obtained from BFEE showed good electrochemical behavior and nice thermal stability with electrical conductivity of 0.03 S cm−1. FTIR and 1H NMR spectra together with theoretical quantum chemistry calculations indicated that the P9BP was mainly grown via the coupling of the monomer at C3 and C6 positions. Furthermore, P9BP exhibited strong electrochromic nature from opaque green to light yellow between the doped and dedoped states on ITO electrode in solid state. Fluorescence spectral studies indicated that P9BP was a blue light emitter. |
