Abstract
A cyclometalated platinum chloride [(L)PtCl] {L = 4-[p-(diphenylamino)phenyl]-6-phenyl-2,2'-bipyridine} was successfully synthesized and characterized by (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR, MALDI-TOF MS, elemental analysis, and X-ray crystallography. Its oxidative electropolymerization proceeds smoothly on the working Pt and ITO electrodes by cyclic voltammetry. The film thickness can be easily tuned by controlling the CV scan number. The orange hybrid polymer film shows the nondiffusion-controlled redox processes and a unusually inverse dependence of ac impedance on its thickness. As a result of switching of the MLCT/ICT and dication absorption transitions, the adherent metallopolymer film exhibits the low-voltage-controlled anodic coloration near-IR electrochromism with significant optical contrast ratio (ΔT% = 88.8% at 820 nm), fast response time (1.9 s for the coloration step and 2.3 s for the bleaching step), and high coloration efficiency (CE = 363.3 C(-1)·cm(2)).
