Abstract
The electrochemical reductive polymerization of a co-polymer of phenylene vinylene units and C 60 was studied. The fullerene is introduced into the polymer synthesis as a film on the electrode substrate. During reduction the film is dissolved and the reduced fullerene species interact with the PPV precursor in solution and as a result a film is formed on the substrate. The coupling reaction between the reduced species should lead to a material where the fullerene units are incorporated into the main polymer chain. The films are characterised by cyclic voltammetry and by FTIR and Raman spectroscopy.
