Abstract
Dithienylpyrrole compounds, compositions containing dithienylpyrrole polymers, and methods for making the compounds and compositions are disclosed herein. The compositions containing dithienylpyrrole polymers, can for example, be used as conducting polymers in biosensors for detecting analytes in a sample.
Claims22
A method to prepare a nanostructure film on a surface of a substrate, the method comprising:
- forming a composition comprising dithienylpyrrole monomers, at least one metal precursor, at least one organic solvent, at least one supporting electrolyte, and at least one amine compound;
- allowing metal nanostructures to form in the composition;
- contacting the composition having the metal nanostructures with the substrate under a condition effective to covalently bind two or more dithienylpyrrole monomers to form a dithienylpyrrole polymer;
- and
- forming the nanostructure film on at least a portion of the surface of the substrate.
