Two monomers containing thiophene and anthracene were synthesized via Stille coupling reaction.
Copolymers of TABT or DBTA with thiophene (Th) and 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) were prepared via electropolymerization in BFEE.
The prepared copolymers possess good electrochromic properties.
Substituting EDOT for thiophene or increasing anthracene content induce to red-shift effect of the absorption spectra of copolymers.
