What is Hydroxymethyl EDOT?

Hydroxymethyl EDOT (also known as 3,4-Ethylenedioxythiophene-2,2-dimethanol or H-MeEDOT) is a derivative of the organic compound EDOT (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene). It is a white crystalline solid that is soluble in water and common organic solvents.

It is a conjugated polymer that serves as a starting material for ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) production.

Uses of Hydroxymethyl EDOT

Hydroxymethyl EDOT is commonly used as a monomer for the synthesis of conductive polymers, particularly poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) or PEDOT. This polymer has excellent electrical conductivity and is used in a wide range of applications, including organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), organic solar cells, and electrochromic displays.

Safety and Handling:

  • Safety: Hydroxymethyl EDOT may cause skin and eye irritation and is harmful if swallowed. It should be handled with appropriate protective equipment and stored in a cool, dry place.
  • Handling: Hydroxymethyl EDOT should be handled in a well-ventilated area and kept away from fire.

General description:

Hydroxymethyl EDOT (EDT-methanol) is a conjugated polymer serving as an ethylenedioxythiophene precursor. The hydroxymethyl groups of EDOT monomers promote electropolymerization in a water-based solution, resulting in an electroactive hydrophilic polymer.

Application:

EDOT derivatives help create functional electroactive polymers.

EDT-methanol may functionalize poly(L-lactic acid) by organometallic polymerization, yielding biodegradable and conductive macromonomers for biomedical applications. It may be polymerized to produce poly(hydroxymethyl EDOT)-based films, which can then be combined with silver nanoparticles to create nanocomposites on polyethene terephthalate (PET) for flexible plastic devices.
