Abstract

Polyfuran films have been synthesized by electropolymerization of terfuran and investigated as a function of film preparation conditions in both the doped and undoped state. These Films have been characterized by infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, optical absorption, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, dc conductivity, and electron spin resonance measurements. The electrolyte anion (dopant) used for the preparation of these films heavily influences the π-conjugated system of the polymer backbone. Structural disorder and doping level depends on the nature of the electrolyte anion. CF 3 SO 3 - was found to be the best dopant and to cause the least structural disorder or furan ring opening
