The d i r e c t synthesis by anodic o x i d a t i o n of a new s e r i e s of electrically conducting polymers i s described. Our p o l y ­ mers derive from sulfur and/or nitrogen containing heterocycles such as: 2-(2-thienyl)pyrrole, thiazole, indole, and phthalazine. The anodic oxidation of these monomers i s c a r r i e d out i n a c e t o n i t r i l e s o l u t i o n s containing tetrabutylammonium s a l t s (TBA X ) w i t h X = BF4 , ASF6 , and the tetraethylammonium salt, TEA H C H -SO . Characteriza­ t i o n of the materials by electrical conductivity, electron s p i n resonance, u v - v i s i b l e spectroscopy, and c y c l i c voltammetry i s discussed. +

The v a r i o u s monomers underwent o x i d a t i o n a t the anode, y i e l d i n g c o n d u c t i n g f i l m s or powders w i t h c o l o r s t h a t depend on the monomer and w h i c h r e s u l t from plasma r e f l e c t i o n .

In the reduced form, w h i c h i s a c c o m p l i s h e d by the r e v e r s e c a t h o d i c d i s c h a r g e , the c o l o r s are b r o w n - y e l l o w t o y e l l o w and r e s u l t from the i n t r i n s i c i n t e r b a n d a b s o r p t i o n . The e x t e n t of r e v e r s i b i l i t y o f the o x i d a t i o n / r e d u c t i o n p r o c e s s e s depends upon the n a t u r e o f the monomer o r r e p e a t i n g u n i t i n the c h a i n f o r m a t e r i a l s w i t h comparable t h i c k n e s s e s .

For example, c r o s s l i n k ­ i n g c o u l d take p l a c e p a r t i c u l a r l y i n the case of ct-3 c o u p l i n g .

The c o l o r of the s o l u t i o n or the f i l m depends upon the e l e c t r o l y t e used.

ranges, i . e . , the relative importance of the intra-chain and inter­ chain conduction processes is different^a| different temperatures. When the conductivity is plotted vs. T~ or Τ , a straight line is obtained indicating the possibility of two or three dimen­ sional variable range hopping conduction as predicted by MotÇ (27). Although, the conductivity of poly(thiazole) is low, 1 X 10 S/cm, the values measured along and perpendicular to the directions of the surface indicate that a higher anisotropy than in most polyheterocycles is obtained. Such a property will be further detailed in a future publication.

CONCLUSIONS We have shown for the first time that heterocycles such as thiazole and phthalazine, undergo electrochemical polymerization providing a new and perhaps the only synthetic route of their corresponding polymers. This work could lead to the synthesis of conducting polymers that are obtained conventionally as crystalline or perhaps liquid crystalline polymers. Such a possibility is currently under investigation. The polymerization product of thienylpyrrole may provide a material for testing predictions of particle excitations in conjugated AB polymers: solitons in the bleached material, and polarons and/or bipolarons in the oxidized material. This synthesis route will be extended to 2-heteroarylpyrroles which are precursors for the synthesis of chemotherapeutic compounds (28), such as 2-(2-furyl)pyrrole. Some of the materials synthesized in this work, e.g., poly(thienylpyrrole), could be good candidates for electro-optical switching elements with reasonable switching times, due to the fast oxidation/reduction cycles accompanied by a color change when thin films (up to 1000A thick) ar used. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The authors would like to thank Dr. S. Gottesfeld for helpful discussions, and Dr. D. Wrobleski for synthesizing the thienylpyrrole monomer.
