A free-standing polyfuran (PFu) film has been successfully synthesized by electrochemical polymerization of furan at low potential (1.2 V vs Ag/AgCl) in a binary solvent system consisting of boron trifluoride−ethyl ether (BFEE) and additional ethyl ether (EE). The obtained polymer contains much less ring-opened component and shows higher conductivity than that prepared by chemical method or by electropolymerization in other solvent systems. Its electric conductivity is as high as 10-2 S cm-1 both in its electrochemically doped state and chemically doped state with I2. Moreover, the obtained free-standing film shows good mechanical properties, which makes itself a powerful competitor to other conducting polymers. The orientation of PFu deposited on Au and stainless steel electrode was investigated by surface enhanced Raman spectra (SERS) and reflection−absorption infrared spectra (RA-IR) techniques. The furan ring in the polymer chain is inclined to be arranged parallel to the metal surface at the early st...
