Stepwise complexation behavior of Cu(I) with the ligand was revealed by titrimetric ultraviolet- visible (UV-vis) spectroscopic analysis. Formation of a high-molecular-weight polymer (M-w = 1.21 x 10(5) Da) was confirmed by a size-exclusion chromatography-viscometry-right-angle laser light scattering study. A bundle structure of the polymer chains was observed by scanning electron microscopy. A cyclic voltammogram of the polymer film showed reversible redox waves at a negative potential. A device consisting of indium tin oxide (ITO) glass coated with a film of the polymer exhibited reversible green-to-black electrochromism upon alternate application of -3 and +1 V.}, language = {en} }
