Electrochemically induced IRAV modes of BeCHA-PPV studied within situ FTIR-ATR Spectroscopy

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We present results of in situ spectroelectrochemical studies on poly(bis-2,5-epi-cholestanoxy-1,4-phenylene vinylene)(BeCHA-PPV). A broad absorption band centered at about 0.5 eV is observed during the oxidation process. The spectra are characterized by strongly enhanced infrared active vibrational (IRAV) modes in the wavenumber region below 1600 cm-1. No distinct reduction current was observed in the investigated potential range, unlike the results on similar systems.
