Abstract:2‐((2,3‐Dihydrothieno3,4‐b]dioxin‐2‐yl)methoxy)methyl oxirane (EDOT‐MO) was successfully synthesized by the reaction of epichlorohydrin with hydroxymethylated‐3,4‐ethylenedioxylthiophene (EDOT‐MeOH), which was synthesized via a simple four‐step sequence. Poly(hydroxymethylated‐3,4‐ethylenedioxylthiophene) (PEDOT‐MeOH) and poly(2‐((2,3‐dihydrothieno3,4‐b]dioxin‐2‐yl)methoxy)methyl oxirane) (PEDOT‐MO) were electrosynthesized through electropolymerization of EDOT‐MeOH and EDOT‐MO, respectively. Structural, electrochemical, optical, and thermal properties of as‐formed polymers were investigated by FTIR, cyclic voltammetry, UV–vis, and thermogravimetry. Spectroelectrochemistry studies demonstrated that PEDOT‐MeOH and PEDOT‐MO could be reversibly oxidized and reduced accompany with obvious color changes. Further kinetic studies demonstrated that the introduction of hydroxymethyl or ethylene oxide group significantly improved electrochromic properties of 3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene (PEDOT) and resulted in high contrast ratios (57.3% at 585 nm) and coloration efficiencies (338.5 cm2 C?1), low switching voltages, and fast response time. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
