M. Fall et al., ELECTROPOLYMERIZATION OF 3-METHOXYTHIOPHE NE IN MICELLAR MEDIUM - A NEW METHOD FOR THE ELABORATION OF SEXIMETHOXYTHIOPHENE, Journal de chimie physique et de physico-chimie biologique, 95(6), 1998, pp. 1559-1562
3-methoxythiophene was electropolymerized in an aqueous micellar mediu
m (containing sodium dodecylsulfate, SDS) at a Pt electrode. The elect
rochemical properties of the film obtained were studied in water. Spec
troscopic characterization of the resulting soluble oligomer, using es
pecially MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry showed that it is mainly constitu
ted of seximethoxythiophene.
