New derivatives of phenylamine as novel building blocks of conducting polymers

A novel phenylamine substituted derivatives possessing different photochromic groups were investigated. Using the electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical measurements the electrochemical activity of the monomers and polymers have been studied. The results indicate good film forming properties most of the monomers and stability of the forming films. The polymeric films include diphenylamine or triphenylamine unit and five member heterocycle ring moieties.
