ELECTROCHEMICAL PROPERTIES AND ABSORPTION SPECTRA OF CONDUCTING FILMS OF TETRATHYOTETRACENE IODIDS

Abstract

Films of tetrathyotetracene (TTT) iodides were obtained by doping of evaporated TTT films with iodine from I-containing solutions. TTT was evaporated onto a conducting substrate which then was used as an anode in KI solution. As a result of electrochemical reaction, iodine penetrated into the TTT film forming conducting TTT iodides. Cyclic voltamogrammes and absorption spectra show at least two stable forms of TTT-I x , differing by iodine contents
