Graphical Abstract
RGB-Farbraum komplettiert: Die elektrochemischen und optischen Eigenschaften des ersten elektrochemisch hergestellten leitfähigen Polymers, das in seiner Neutralform grün ist, werden beschrieben. Seine außerordentlich hohe Stabilität ist ein entscheidender Schritt vorwärts auf dem Gebiet elektrochromer Polymere, da dieses Polymer entsprechende rote und blaue leitfähige Polymere ergänzt (siehe Bild).

- 35Since PDDTP was insoluble in any solvent, an alkyl-substituted counterpart of the monomer (Supporting Information; Figure S2) was synthesized and electrochemically polymerized under the same conditions. Then polymer films were reduced electrochemically in monomer-free electrolyte solution and dissolved in [D2]tetrachloroethane. 13C NMR spectroscopy of the resulting polymer demonstrated that hydrogen atoms on the α and α′ positions of the thiophene rings labeled with the letters c and d (Supporting Information) remained after electrochemical polymerization confirming the proposed structure for PDDTP. The related work for alkyl-substituted PDDTP will be published separately.
