Abstract

Organic electrochromic materials change color rapidly under applied potential. A butterfly-shaped compound, 5,5',-5″,-5'″-(thieno[3,2-b]thiophene-2,3,5,6-tetrayl) tetrakis-(2,3-dihydrothieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxine) (t-EDOT-TT) is synthesized for the first time and polymerized at different potentials via electropolymerization technique. By applying different polymerization potentials, the optical and electrochromic properties of this newly synthesized polymer can be tuned. Owing to the dependence of functional group position in the polymer structure on the redox potential, this polymer can be utilized in very interesting organic optoelectronic applications.
