Abstract 2-(pyren-1-ylmethylene) malononitrile was synthesized via a condensation reaction. The films that are prepared by the potentiodynamic polymerization of 2-(pyren-1-ylmethylene) malononitrile on indium tin oxide (ITO) exhibits a well-defined reproducible redox behavior in tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate (TBAPF6) in CH2Cl2 electrolyte. Copper (Cu) structures were then deposited on the patterns of poly(2-(pyren-1-ylmethylene) malononitrile)/ITO electrochemically with a constant potential and time using a combined electrochemical technique. The electrochemical properties of the obtained polymer films are studied by cyclic voltammetry. Characterizations of the resulting poly(2-(pyren-1-ylmethylene) malononitrile) and poly(2-(pyren-1-ylmethylene) malononitrile)-Cu were performed by atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The results show that the shape and density of the Cu deposits on poly(2-(pyrene-1-ylmethylene) malononitrile)-ITO can be controlled depending on electrodeposition time of Cu and the presence of poly(2-(pyrene-1-ylmethylene) malononitrile) used as a template created by electropolymerization on ITO. These controllable nanostructured thin films have an attractive potential for practical applications in nanotechnology.

2-(芘-1-基亚甲基)丙二腈对电化学沉积制备铜结构的影响

摘要 通过缩合反应合成了2-(芘-1-基亚甲基)丙二腈。通过 2-（芘-1-基亚甲基）丙二腈在氧化铟锡 (ITO) 上的动电位聚合制备的薄膜在 CH2Cl2 电解液中的四丁基六氟磷酸铵 (TBAPF6) 中表现出明确可重复的氧化还原行为。然后使用组合电化学技术以恒定电位和时间将铜 (Cu) 结构沉积在聚（2-（芘-1-基亚甲基）丙二腈）/ITO 的图案上。通过循环伏安法研究所得聚合物薄膜的电化学性能。通过原子力显微镜和扫描电子显微镜对所得聚（2-（芘-1-基亚甲基）丙二腈）和聚（2-（芘-1-基亚甲基）丙二腈）-Cu 进行表征。结果表明，在聚（2-（芘-1-基亚甲基）丙二腈）-ITO 上的 Cu 沉积物的形状和密度可以根据 Cu 的电沉积时间和聚（2-（芘-1-亚甲基）丙二腈）用作通过在 ITO 上电聚合产生的模板。这些可控的纳米结构薄膜在纳米技术的实际应用中具有极具吸引力的潜力。
