A novel nickel(II)-containing conducting metallopolymer utilizing thieno[3,2-b]thiophene moieties as the electropolymerizable groups is synthesized and characterized. A metal-free polymer is also obtained via electropolymerization of the title ligand allowing comparative studies of the electrochemical and spectroscopic properties of the polymer system in the presence and absence of nickel(II) metal ions. Photodegradation of the two polymers is studied along with an analogous system incorporating bithiophene as the electropolymerizable groups. Stability is found to be comparable between the metal-free thieno[3,2-b]thiophene- and bithio-phene-based polymers; however, significant enhancement is observed in the thieno[3,2-b]thiophene-based nickel(II) conducting metallopolymer.

New Rh (1) and Ir (2) complexes of an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) featuring a terthiophene backbone were synthesized. Single crystal X-ray diffraction studies of 1 and 2 at 100 K and 298 K respectively, revealed two enantiotropic polymorphic phases with similar lattice parameters for each compound. The transition temperature between two crystalline forms for each compound was determined by measuring the percentage of reflections with a different space group ranging from 100 K to 298 K.

A novel biscarbazol triphenylamine end-capped dendrimeric zinc(II) porphyrin () was synthesized by click chemistry. This compound is a cruciform dendrimer that bears a nucleus of zinc(II) tetrapyrrolic macrocycle substituted at the positions by four identical substituents. These are formed by a tetrafluorophenyl group that possesses a triazole unit in the position.

Two electropolymerizable monomers with a methoxytriphenylamine core linked via amide groups to two triphenylamine (TPA) or -phenylcarbazole (NPC) terminal groups, namely 4,4'-bis(4-diphenylaminobenzamido)-4''-methoxytriphenylamine (MeOTPA-(TPA)₂) and 4,4'-bis(4-(carbazol-9-yl)benzamido)-4''-methoxytriphenylamine (MeOTPA-(NPC)₂), were synthesized and characterized by FTIR and ¹H NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and cyclic voltammetry. The electrochemical polymerization reactions of these MeOTPA-cored monomers over indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode allow the generation of electroactive poly(amide-amine) films. The electro-generated polymer films exhibited reversible redox processes and multi-colored electrochromic behaviors upon electro-oxidation, together with moderate coloration efficiency and cycling stability.

The complete characterization of novel electropolymerizable organometallic complexes is presented. These are newly synthesized cyclometalated complexes of general formula (PPy)M(O ∧ N)(n) (H(PPy) = 2-phenylpyridine, M = Pd(II) or Pt(II), H(O ∧ N)(n) = Schiff base). Polymeric thin films have been obtained from these complexes by electropolymerization of the triphenylamino group grafted onto the H(O ∧ N)(n) ancillary ligand.
