reactions, the reaction ratio can be finely tuned
by precisely controlling the amount of charge
passed between the anode and cathode of the
electrode. As a result, the physical properties of
the conjugated polymer can be tailored by
adjusting the reaction ratio.
To progress this solid-phase reaction, the
choice of electrolyte is critical. In the
electrochemical fluorination of a polyfluorene
derivative, ionic liquid hydrogen fluoride salts
play the roles of supporting salt, reaction
medium and fluorine source, preventing film
detachment during electrolysis ( Eq. 6.33 ) [122].
