Abstract :
The electrosynthesis of poly(3-methoxythiophene) (PMOT) was performed on a Pt electrode in an aqueous micellar medium, containing sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) as surfactant. The resulting PMOT film is electroactive and soluble in several organic solvents. It exhibits electrochemical and IR spectral properties typical of polythiophenes. Mass spectrometry (matrix assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight or MALDI-TOF) shows that the film is mainly constituted of hexamers. The PMOT UV-Vis absorption and fluorescence spectra reveal remarkably distinct features relative to the monomer.
