DIPYRROLIC HYDROPHOBIC MONOMERS - ELECTRO CHEMICAL STUDY AND ELECTROPOLYMERIZATION IN AQUEOUS-MEDIA BY MEANS OF HOST-GUEST COMPLEXATION

The electrochemical oxidation of dipyrrolyl monomers with more or less flexible and bulky spacers has been studied. We show that both pyrrol yl units ate involved in film formation. The use of such monomers may thus lead to bidimensional conductive materials with control of the in terchain organization. Moreover, solubilization of such monomers, achi eved by the use of inclusion complexes with cyclodextrin, makes it pos sible to grow these materials from aqueous media.
