Abstract

A ferrocene-derivatized ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) ( 1) has been synthesized. The co-electropolymerization of this precursor with hydroxymethyl EDOT ( 2) and a two-site precusor involving two EDOT groups linked by a polyether chain ( 3) has been investigated in potentiodynamic and potentiostatic conditions in acetonitrile and nitrobenzene. The analysis of the electrochemical behavior of the films grown under various conditions show that potentiostatic copolymerization of 1 and 3 in nitrobenzene leads to a stable electroactive copolymer which retains the electroactivity of the ferrocene group even in aqueous medium.
