Abstract

The electrochemical oxidation of hexa-N-pyrrolylbenzene in organic media leads, via intramolecular coupling of the pyrrole residues, to the deposition of a molecular semiconductor film on an electrode surface. In situ electron spin resonance–electrochemical experiments reveal that the semiconductor is endowed with both properties of conducting polymers (i.e., reversible oxidation) and polyaromatic molecular materials (i.e., highly paramagnetic). The material, which is easy to process as soft homogeneous thin film, shows a tunable 0 to 1 spin concentration per molecule at room temperature by controlling the electrochemical potential.
