Abstract

The electrochromic properties of 1,1′-diethyl-4,4′-hipyridinium dibromide (EV), 1,1′-dipropyl-4,4′-bipyridinium dihromide (PV), 1,1′-dibutyl-4,4′-bipyridinium dibromide (BV) and 1-ethyl-1′-butyl bipyridinium dibromide (EBV) were studied using a propylenecarbonate/methanol solution with Bu₄NBF₄ as the supporting electrolyte. A monomer-dimer equilibrium is proposed to explain the observation that the EV and EBV cation radical solutions are violet at an applied voltage of 1.7-3.0 V, but become blue in the open-circuit condition.
