“Click”-modification of a functionalized poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) soluble in organic solvents

Abstract

A PEDOT-based conductive copolymer soluble in organic solvents was synthesized electrochemically using dihexyl-EDOT and azidomethyl-EDOT as monomers and was successfully post-functionalized by "click"-cycloaddition reaction with a functionalized terminal alkyne under mild heterogeneous conditions.
