Abstract: A process used to cast films including; mixing Pyr-BBL and a room temperature molten salt from a range of about 35:65 weight ratio, dissolving the mixture in about 1% methanesulfonic acid to produce a Pyr-BBL solution, drop casting the solution onto glass or gold coated glass at 140° C. in air and heating for about 2 hours to produce films, drying the films in a vacuum oven at about 100° C. for at least 24 hours under dynamic vacuum, and rinsing the films to remove residual ionic liquid.

Abstract: A synthesis of a new pyrazole-containing monomer by means of an easily implemented two-step process. This monomer can be electropolymerized to yield a stable n-doping polymer that may easily be electrochemically characterized. It is demonstrated that the electrochemical behavior of the polymer films produced is dependent upon the conditions applied during electrodeposition. Films deposited by cycling only at relatively positive potentials (0 to 2000 mV) show less intense n-doping responses than those films obtained by scanning the applied potential throughout a wider range (?2000 mV to 2000 mV).
