Effect of photoisomerization on the electroactivity and electrochromic behavior of aniline pentamer-based polymers with azo chromophore as reversibly switchable pendant group
switch can be photochemically reverted by reirradiation at a different wavelength (ii) in that a photoreaction is used that is thermally reversible. At the same time, electrochemical investigations of electrochromic properties of an aniline-pentamer-based electroactive poly(azine-azo) (EPAA) coating prepared by oxidative coupling polymerization are presented. The in-situ chemical oxidation of the reduced
