A stable near IR switchable electrochromic polymer based on an indole-substituted nickel dithiolene

Simon Dalgleish and Neil Robertson


A novel nickel dithiolene-containing polymer, generated by the electropolymerisation of pendent indole units, has been prepared and shows good stability and fast reversible switching of the near infrared absorption by varying the applied potential of the film.
