Abstract :
Inclusion compounds using hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin as host molecule have been used to electropolymerize some hydrophobic organic compounds in aqueous medium. This general strategy makes it possible to grow conducting polymers in aqueous medium by anodic oxidation. It is an easy method of obtaining conducting polymers in a very mild manner. Some threaded conducting molecular wire and some water-soluble and processable materials were obtained. Specific conducting polymers which seem to be encapsulated by hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin with some specific inter-chain organization were deposited on solid electrodes.
