Conducting polymers such as polypyrrole and polythiophene offer a new approach to the design of modified electrodes and sensors. In the current work, the electrochemical and chemical polymerisation of tetra(pyrrol-1-yl)silane is described. Resultant polymers with different anions have been characterised by electrochemical methods, XPS and microanalysis. Molecular geometry calculations suggest that both inter- and intra-molecular couplings are present in the film. Crosslinking of the polymeric matrix via β-linkages will result in a three-dimensional structure with a concomitant reduction in the degree of conjugation, accounting for the low film conductivity (σ ca. 10–6 S cm–1).Preliminary results show that poly[tetra(pyrrol-l-yl)silane] is a promising material for the fabrication of gas sensors. It is unexpectedly sensitive to ammonia and trimethylamine gas when compared with polypyrrole and poly(N-methylpyrrole) prepared in a similar fashion.
导电聚合物(如聚吡咯和聚噻吩)为改性电极和传感器的设计提供了新的方法。在目前的工作中,描述了四(吡咯-1-基)硅烷的电化学和化学聚合。通过电化学方法、XPS和微分析对具有不同阴离子的聚合物进行了表征。分子几何计算表明,薄膜中存在分子间和分子内偶联。通过β键交联聚合物基质将形成三维结构,同时共轭程度降低,这解释了薄膜的低电导率(σ ca. 10–6 S cm–1)。初步结果表明,聚[四(吡咯-l-基)硅烷]是制造气体传感器的有前途的材料。与以类似方式制备的聚吡咯和聚(N-甲基吡咯)相比,它对氨气和三甲胺气体的敏感性出乎意料。
