In this study a novel, clickable, azide containing conducting polymers based on 1-(2-azido-ethyl)-2,5-dithiophene-2-yl-1H-pyrrole (SNS-N-3) were synthesized and characterized. Optical and electronic properties of homopolymer (PSNS-N-3) were investigated and colorimetric studies were performed. The homopolymer has a band gap of 2.49 eV and it displays yellow to blue coloration upon doping. Electrochemically prepared copolymers of SNS-N-3 and 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) formed multichromic, color tunable electrochromic materials with continuous color gradient from cinnamon, mustard, lime green, blue and dark blue. Spectroelectrochemical analyses revealed that the neutral copolymers possess two absorption maxima (similar to 320 and 450 nm) where the relative intensity and position of the two depends on polymerization potential. Copolymer films could be fully switched between their neutral and oxidized forms in similar to 1.2 s with a percent transmittance of similar to 65% at 950 nm. Moreover, a PSNS-N-3 coated ITO electrode was subjected to click reaction using ethynylferrocene. CV and FTIR studies revealed that ferrocene could easily be attached onto the electrode surface without loss of electroactivity of both ferrocene and PSNS backbone. Our results suggest that electrochemically prepared PSNS-N-3 films offer a novel and multipurpose platform for simple, effective post-functionalization of poly(2,5-dithienylpyrrole)s under mild conditions.
