Abstract

An asymmetric two-arm polypyridine ligand 4'-{4-[4-(2,2'-dipyridyl)phenyl]}-2,2':6',2'-terpyridine (TPY-Ph-BPY) with double coordination units was synthesized using the one-step Suzuki reaction. The metallic supramolecular film was subsequently obtained by the Fe²⁺-induced self-assembly method at the CHCl₃-H₂O interface, which displayed a distinct flat and continuous morphology. The supramolecular film-coated ITO electrode demonstrated a reversible electrochemical redox behavior with pronounced color changes between purple and light green. Its solid-state electrochromic device had an optical contrast (ΔT%) of 26.2% at λ_max = 573 nm with balanced coloring (t_c = 2.4 s) and bleaching (t_b = 2.6 s) times and a high current efficiency of 507.8 cm²/C. Moreover, good cycling stability with a long-term reversible color change was observed beyond 900 cycles. These results suggested the promising potential of the TPY-Ph-BPY-Fe(II) supramolecular film for electrochromic applications.

期刊介绍： Molecules (ISSN 1420-3049, CODEN: MOLEFW) is an open access journal of synthetic organic chemistry and natural product chemistry. All articles are peer-reviewed and published continously upon acceptance. Molecules is published by MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. Our aim is to encourage chemists to publish as much as possible their experimental detail, particularly synthetic procedures and characterization information. There is no restriction on the length of the experimental section. In addition, availability of compound samples is published and considered as important information. Authors are encouraged to register or deposit their chemical samples through the non-profit international organization Molecular Diversity Preservation International (MDPI). Molecules has been launched in 1996 to preserve and exploit molecular diversity of both, chemical information and chemical substances.
