Abstract
Copolymer of 2-(4-acryloylpiperazin-1-yl)methyl)-9H-thioxanthen-9-one and methyl methacrylate was synthesized by radical polymerization. This copolymer has high molecular weight characteristics and is capable of forming long-lived anion radical states of the pendant thioxanthenone groups during electrochemical reduction. Using a combination of electrochemical and optical methods, it has been shown that the electronic states of the pendant groups are located within the band gap of methyl methacrylate and may promote the Frenkel mechanism of conductivity in dielectric thin films used in resistive memory devices.
