摘要:High quality poly(5-methylindole) (P5MeI) films, especially with good fluorescence properties, were synthesized electrochemically by direct anodic oxidation of 5-methylindole in boron trifluoride diethyl etherate (BFEE) containing additional 50% diethyl ether (EE) (by volume). The oxidation potential onset of 5-methylindole in this medium was measured to be only 0.84 V vs. SCE, which was much lower than that determined in acetonitrile + 0.1 mol L-1 TBATFB (1.08 V vs. SCE). P5MeI films obtained from this medium showed good electrochemical behavior and good thermal stability with conductivity of 10(-2) S cm(-1), indicating that BFEE was a better medium than acetonitrile for the electrosyntheses of P5MeI films. Dedoped P5MeI films were thoroughly soluble in strong polar solvent such as dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). H-1 NMR spectroscopy and FT infrared spectrum of dedoped P5MeI films strongly suggested that the monomers were linked via the positions 2 and 3. Fluorescent spectral studies indicated that P5Me1 was a good violet-blue light emitter with the excitation and emission wavelength of 310 nm and 418 nm, respectively. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case that 5-methyl group substituted polyindole films with good fluorescence properties can be electrodeposited. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd.
