Electrochemical Switching of Conductance with Diarylethene-Based Redox-Active Polymers
Reversible switching of conductance using redox triggered switching of a polymer-modified electrode is demonstrated. A bifunctional monomer comprising a central electroswitchable core and two bithiophene units enables formation of a film through anodic electropolymerization. The conductivity of the polymer can be switched electrochemically in a reversible manner by redox triggered opening and closing of the diarylethene unit.
In the closed state, the conductivity of the modified electrode is higher than in the open state.
