Three bis(triphenylamine) diimides, TPA-PMDI, TPA-NTDI and TPA-PTDI, were synthesized from condensation of 4-aminotriphenylamine with pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA), 1,4,5,8-naphthalenetetracarboxylic dianhydride (NTDA) and 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTDA), respectively. Redox-active poly(arylamine-imide) films coded with TPA-PMPI, TPA-NTPI, and TPA-PTPI could be electrodeposited robustly on the electrode surface in an electrolyte solution via the oxidative coupling reactions between TPA radical cations. The CVs of these elecrtrodeposited films showed an ambipolar redox behavior, with a reversible redox couple at E_1/2 of 0.99–1.02 V during the anodic scanning and two pairs of redox waves during cathodic scanning. The polyimide films exhibited multicolored anodic and cathodic coloring. Electrochromic devices using the electropolymerized films as active layers were also fabricated as preliminary investigations for electrochromic applications.

由4-氨基三苯胺与均苯四甲酸二酐（PMDA），1,4,5,8-萘四甲酸二酐（NTDA）和3的缩合反应合成了三个双（三苯胺）二酰亚胺TPA-PMDI，TPA-NTDI和TPA-PTDI。 4,9,10-per四羧酸二酐（PTDA）。通过TPA自由基阳离子之间的氧化偶联反应，可以将用TPA-PMPI，TPA-NTPI和TPA-PTPI编码的氧化还原活性聚（芳胺-酰亚胺）薄膜牢固地电沉积在电解质溶液的电极表面上。这些电沉积膜的CV显示出双极性的氧化还原行为，在E _1/2处具有可逆的氧化还原对在阳极扫描期间为0.99–1.02 V，在阴极扫描期间为两对氧化还原波。聚酰亚胺膜表现出多色的阳极和阴极着色。还制备了使用电聚合膜作为活性层的电致变色器件，作为对电致变色应用的初步研究。
