Abstract

Raman and optical absorption spectra were studied on electrochemically polymerized polypyrrole in as-polymerized doped (highly conductive), partially undoped and substantially undoped ‘neutral’ (insulating) states. Vibrational assignments were made on the basis of the data of 2,5-13C-substituted and C-deuterated derivatives. The Raman result of the neutral polymer is consistent with the α,α′-linked all-s-trans coplanar and conjugated structure. In the as-polymerized polymer there exist both radical cation and dication in which the bond orders of C3C4 and interring CC are increased as compared to those in the neutral polymer. The structural distortion in the dication is greater than that in the radical cation. Changes in optical absorption and Raman spectra during reduction (undoping) were explained by the conversions of the dication to the radical cation and the radical cation to the neutral species.

      Through vibrational spectra, it is possible to obtain information on the microstructure of the PPy [36,37]. According to the studies of Furukawa and coworkers [38], it is possible to identify peaks related to different charge carriers of the polymer system, polarons and bipolarons. The bands at 940 cm−1 and 1090 cm−1 are assigned to bipolaron structures, out-of-plane and in-plane ring CH deformations, respectively.
