Abstract

In this work, we describe the synthesis and electropolymerization of conjugated substituted polyacetylenes, poly (N-alkoxy-(p-ethynylphenyl) carbazole) or PPA-Cz-Cn with electropolymerizable carbazole side groups to form conjugated polymer network (CPN) films. The phenylacetylene monomer was functionalized with a carbazole group separated by an alkylene spacer. Polymerization of the monomer in solution is accomplished using a ...
