Abstract

Poly(2′-aminomethyl-3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) was synthesized by the chemical oxidative polymerization of 2′-aminomethyl-3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene in the presence of different oxidants, such as FeCl3, Ce(SO4)2, (NH4)2Ce(NO3)6, and (NH4)2S2O8. The as-formed polymer was investigated by FTIR, UV–Vis, and Raman spectroscopy, fluorescence, thermogravimetry, and X-ray diffraction to determine the structure, photophysical properties, thermal stability, and polymer phase. FTIR and Raman spectra measurements indicated that the formation of macromolecules occurred exclusively via α,α-coupling of thiophene rings. Moreover, polymer obtained in polymerization using Ce(SO4)2 as the oxidant displayed superior thermal stability. All the characterizations indicated that FeCl3 was the more suitable oxidant for oxidative polymerization of the monomer and provided formation of polymer with higher yield.
