Abstract :
We report the preliminary results of triphenylene pyrrole hybrid molecules in an attempt to introduce self-assembled crystallinity into electroconductive polymers, in order to increase the polymer performance. However, to date, the solution state electropolymerisation has resulted in amorphous films, with no sign of crystallinity.
