RESUMO

In this work we describe the electrochemical and optical aspects of a series of electrochemically synthesized blue-electroluminescent conjugated polymers. The materials employed here comprised poly(p-phenylene) (PPP), poly(pyrro1e) (PPI), poly(3-methylthiophene) (P3MET), poly(p-pheny1ene-pyrrole) (CPPI) copolymer and poly(p-phenylene3methyIthiophene) (CP3MET) copolymer. The films were electrochemically synthesized and deposited onto indium-tin-oxide covered glass (ITO) electrodes. The latter was carried out using either cyclic voltammetry (VC) or cronoamperometry (CR) in a acetonitrile nonaqueous medium containing tetrabutilammonium perclorate and different concentration of the respective monomers. As a further film quality control, the synthesis was carried out within a glove box containing a CaCI2 salt, which acted as drying agent. The latter procedure allowed us to correlate the amount of moisture present within the glove box with the electrochemical properties of the films. The ionization potential (PI) and the electronic affinity (AE) were calculated using the oxidation and reduction on-set potentials of the films (Eoxde Ered). The electronic gap (EgapE)d the optical gap energies were calculated using electrochemical and UV-VIS. spectroscopy respectively.
