Article history: Received Received in revised form Accepted Available online
As a self-doped conducting polyaniline bearing phosphonic acid, poly(2-methoxyaniline-5phosphonic acid) (PMAP) was synthesized via oxidative polymerization of 2-methoxyaniline-5phosphonic acid. The pyridinium salt of thus-obtained PMAP was water-soluble and its film exhibited conductivity. 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Conducting polymers have attracted considerable interest due to their wide application for polymer-based electronics and biosensors.1 To exhibit their conductivity, the charge carriers must become mobile in the polymer chain. Therefore, the partial oxidation or reduction of intrinsically conducting -conjugated polymer is usually required to form the conductive state, and this process is called doping.2 In contrast to such redox-mediating doping, polyaniline (emeraldine base) can be doped by simple protonation to lead to conductive polysemiquinone radical cationic (polaronic) state via reorganization of the electronic structure (Figure 1a).3 Organic conducting polymers that contain covalently bound, charged, functional groups that impact the properties of the polymer are referred to as self-doped conducting polymers.4 A covalently attached acid group to the polyaniline backbone can dope itself without an external dopant. As such self-doped conducting polyanilines, sulfonated polyaniline was demonstrated by Epstein et al. in 1990.5 On the other hand, there is a great demand for highly water-soluble conducting polymers, particularly in applications with processing using aqueous solution or operated in biological environments.6 From this point of view, self-doped polyaniline possessing a hydrophilic group is also attractive. In our previous study, we have developed the hybrid systems consisted of poly(2-methoxyaniline-5-sulfonic acid) and transition metals,7 and reported their catalytic application for the oxidation reaction in aqueous solution. 7c-f Despite such attractive features for self-doped polyaniline, development of self-doped polyanilines is still limited, especially most of them have a quite low electrical conductivity.8 Concerning the synthesis, there are mainly two strategies to introduce an acid group. One is post-synthetic modifications of polyaniline. The other is the polymerization of monomer

possessing acid group. The latter should make the polymer design more flexible. In the present study, we chose polyaniline phosphonic acid 1 as a synthetic target (Figure 1b). Differing from sulfonic acid, two acidic protons are available in phosphonic acid. This feature would provide a base resistance property or further acid/base complexation. Alkylphosphonic acid is known to have an enough acidity to dope the polyaniline (emeraldine base).9 So far, self-

doped polyaniline with phosphonic acid attached to the backbone through methylene unit was synthesized.8g,h In our designed polyaniline phosphonic acid, a directly attached acid group to the backbone is expected to show more efficient selfdoping. Herein, we describe the synthesis of poly(2methoxyaniline-5-phosphonic acid) (PMAP, 1b) via oxidative polymerization of 2-methoxyaniline-5-phosphonic acid. The pyridinium salt of thus-obtained PMAP was water-soluble and its film exhibited conductivity.

To synthesize 1a, oxidative polymerization of the monomer 2a10a or 2b10b was investigated using (NH4)2S2O8 as an oxidant (Scheme 1a). However, the reaction conditions to afford the conducting polymers were not found from both monomers despite several attempts of the conditions. To improve the reactivity for polymerization, monomer 6 possessing methoxy group was designed. The synthetic scheme for 6 is shown in Scheme 1b. Our developed Pd-catalysed coupling reaction was employed to introduce phosphonate group. 11 Commercially available bromide 3 was coupled with HPO(OEt)2 in the presence of Pd(OAc)2 (10mol%) to give diethylphosphonate 4 in 69% yield. Hydrogenation of nitro group followed by acid-catalysed hydrolysis gave the monomer 6 (2 steps 72% yield). The thusobtained monomer 6 was polymerized with (NH4)2S2O8 in 2.5 M aqueous pyridine solution at -5 °C for 5 days (Scheme 1c). After the treatment with 1 M aqueous HCl solution, the polymer 1b was obtained in 53% yield as a black solid. The obtained polymer 1b has a weight average molecular weight (Mw) of 2000 and a polydispersity index of 2.7, which were determined by GPC analysis (see Figure S1 in Supplementary Material). Although PMAP 1b did not exhibit a good solubility in an acidic to neutral aqueous solution, it was soluble in a basic aqueous solution. The pyridinium salt of PMAP 1b was also soluble in neutral water.

Figure 2 shows UV-vis-NIR spectra for 1b. Aqueous solution of the PMAP/pyridine complex (molar ratio = 1:1 based on the monomer unit) exhibited pH 5.35, and its color was brown. This complex has a maximum absorption at 281 and a shoulder peak around 420 nm. The shoulder peak around 420 nm should be attributed to a polaron band.12 Steadily increasing absorption starting from around 1000 nm was also observed (free carrier tail). Such free carrier tail is characteristic of doped conducting polyanilines.12 On the other hand, the pH 8.98 aqueous solution of the PMAP/pyridine complex (molar ratio = 1:1 based on the monomer unit) has maximum absorptions at 283 and 683 nm, and a shoulder peak was observed around 430 nm. The broad absorption around 680 nm should be assigned as a further localized polaron band.12 It is worth noting that the absorption from around 1000 nm was also found in the weakly basic solution.

ESR spectrum of the aqueous solution of the PMAP/pyridine complex (molar ratio = 1:2 based on the monomer unit) showed a single resonance line centered on around g = 2.0036 without hyperfine coupling in water (Figure 3). This is characteristic of delocalized free radicals.13 The electrical resistance of the polymer film was measured by the direct-current (DC) method (Table 1). The film was formed by drop-casting the aqueous 1% (w/w) suspension or solution of the pyridinium salt of PMAP 1b on a glass substrate, on which a pair of indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes with a gap (width: 200 m, height: 150 nm, see the figure in Table 1) were placed. An aqueous suspension and solutions of PMAP 1b were prepared with changing the molar ratio of pyridine to the PMAP 1b. Addition of two molar equivalents of pyridine based on the monomer unit was required to prepare 1% (w/w) PMAP 1b solution in water. The electrical resistances of the film for the

pyridinium salts of PMAP were ranged from 14 to k, which corresponds to 0.19 to 0.13 S/cm in terms of conductivity (Table 1, entries 1-3). The sheet resistance of the drop-cast film was

The film was formed by drop-casting the aqueous 2% (w/w) solution of the pyridinium salt of PMAP 1b (molar ratio = 1:2 based on the monomer unit) on a glass substrate. The sheet resistance was 3.8 x 106 /□. The spin-coating film was also formed with the aqueous 2% (w/w) solution of the pyridinium salt of PMAP 1b (molar ratio = 1:2 based on the monomer unit) on a glass substrate. The photo of the film was shown in Figure 4. It was a transparent light brown film. The thickness was 18 nm. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images of the spin-coating film were shown in Figure S3 in Supplementary Material. The uniformly formed surface of the film was observed. Table 1.

In conclusion, the self-doped conducting polyaniline PMAP 1b was successfully synthesized via oxidative polymerization. This is the first synthesis of the polyaniline bearing phosphonic acid directly attached to the backbone. Self-doping of PMAP 1b was clearly shown by UV-vis-NIR and ESR measurements. The pyridinium salt of PMAP 1b was water-soluble and its film exhibited conductivity. The electrical materials application of PMAP is now underway. Acknowledgments We thank Dr. T.
