Electrochemical behavior of hetero-deposited redox polymer Langmuir-Blodgett films with ferrocene and tris(bipyridine)ruthenium derivatives

Stable redox polymer monolayer and Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films can be prepared from amphiphilic copolymers of N-dodecylacrylamide (DDA) with ferrocene derivative (Fc) and with ruthenium complex (Ru). Electrochemical properties of the LB films fabricated from the hetero-deposition of Ru and Fc copolymer monolayers onto ITO electrodes were investigated using cyclic voltammetry. The results demonstrate that the hetero-deposited redox polymer LB films show rectifying property and charge storage.
