Abstract
We report the photochemical and electrochemical activity of metallopolymers (organized molecular systems) based on transition metal complexes with 5-chloro-1,10-phenanthroline and Schiff bases. These polymers are redox conductive, optically transparent and electrochromic. Their calculated charge diffusion coefficients ( D ct) are in the range 10 −11–10 −10 cm 2 s −1. The optimal conditions of polymer formation as a function of the potential, their time of growth and their spectral characteristics (absorption) were registered. In the solid polymer matrix, the activation barrier does not exceed 30 kJ mol −1 for the bimolecular electron transfer reactions. The photopotential of the electrode, coated with a redox film, reached magnitudes of 70–450 mV depending on the polymer.
