Synthesis and Electrochromic Properties of Star-Shaped Oligothiophene Derivatives with Triphenylamine as Core
Abstract:
Two star-shaped oligothiophene derivatives with triphenylamine as core, Tris[4-(2-thienyl)- phenyl]amine (3TPA) and Tris[4-(5-cyano-2-thienyl)-phenyl]amine (3TPA-3CN) were synthesized and characterized for photophysical, electrochemical and electrochromic properties. The results show that introduction of cyano group to the α-position of thiophene unit of 3TPA-3CN makes the maximum absorption red-shifted in comparison with those of 3TPA, but leads the oxidation potentials shift to positive value. Two electrochromic devices were fabricated using 3TPA and 3TPA-3CN as electroactive layer, and the electrochromic properties of both compounds were studied. 3TPA-3CN exhibits reversible, clear color change from yellow to orange on electrochemical doping and dedoping. 3TPA is electropolymerized firstly, and then switches the colors when the applied potential changes.

Conjugated systems containing an even number of π-electron pairs undergo a conrotatory ring closure. For example, thermal electrocyclization of (2E,4E)-2,4-hexadiene, a conjugated diene containing two π-electron pairs, gives trans-3,4-dimethylcyclobutene.
