GAO, CHUANG; PEI, MEISHAN  y  PAN, QIWEI. ELECTROCHEMICAL COPOLYMERIZATION OF CROSS-LINKABLE POLYTHIOPHENE AND CARBAZOLE. J. Chil. Chem. Soc. [online]. 2012, vol.57, n.2, pp. 1147-1149. ISSN 0717-9707.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0717-97072012000200019.

The copolymerization of carbazole(C) and poly3-ethyl-3-({[6-(3-thienyl)hexyl]oxy}-methyl)oxetane(PTO) was successfully achieved electrochemically in CH₂Cl₂ containing 25% boron trifluoride diethyl etherate BFEE(by volume) as supporting electrolyte by direct anodic oxidation of the monomer mixtures on platinum or an optically transparent ITO electrode. As-formed copolymer own the advantages of PTO, such as good electrochemical behaviors, excellent ambient stability. The structure of the copolymer were investigated by UV-vis, fluorescence spectra and thermal analysis, respectively. The fluorescence spectra indicate that PPTOC films are yellow-light emitters. Thermal analysis studies confirmed PPTOC has a good thermal stability.
