Abstract

Novel phenylamine-substituted derivatives, possessing different photochromic groups, were investigated. The electrochemical activity of the monomers and polymers were studied by usage of the electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical measurements. Heterocyclic side rings influence on the oxidation potential of monomers, decreasing its value below oxidation potential in comparison to parent phenylamine units. The removal of electron is easier for diphenylamine derivatives than for the triphenylamine ones. Electroactivity of monomers allows to polymerize them into macromolecule chains. Triphenylamine-based polymers are more stable as a result of the enlarged conjugated systems. Furthermore, the energy gap value of the final polymer can be reduced by introduction of additional branch into the monomer structure.
