Abstract
Poly[3-(2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropoxy)thiophene] was prepared by electrochemical polymerization under various conditions. Analyses of conductivity, electrochemical and spectroscopic properties as functions of current density (J) in the electrosynthesis showed that mean conjugation of polymer chains was noticeably extended at low current density. The above properties of the polymer also varied with different solvents and working electrodes. The electrosynthetic conditions determine to a large extent the molecular structure and physicochemical properties of the resulting polymer.
