A novel monomer of terthiophene with a side chain TEMPO, 4-(2,5-di(thiophen-2-yl)thiophen-3-yl)acetyl-oxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-yloxy (TT-TEMPO) was successfully synthesized. Its corresponding polymer PTT-TEMPO was prepared via electrochemical polymerization on Pt electrode in boron trifluoride diethyl etherate solution. PTT-TEMPO film showed a uniform network structure. Compared with bare Pt electrode, PTT-TEMPO electrode exhibited high electrocatalytic performance for oxidation of benzyl alcohol in the presence of 2,6-lutidine under similar conditions. Benzyl alcohol was selectively oxidized to benzaldehyde based on in situ FTIR analysis.

具有侧链TEMPO的新型对噻吩单体，4-（2,5-二（噻吩-2-基）噻吩-3-基）乙酰氧基-2,2,6,6-四甲基哌啶-1-基氧基（ TT-TEMPO）已成功合成。通过在三氟化硼二乙基醚化物溶液中的Pt电极上进行电化学聚合，制备了其相应的聚合物PTT-TEMPO。PTT-TEMPO膜显示出均匀的网络结构。与裸露的Pt电极相比，PTT-TEMPO电极在类似条件下，在2,6-二甲基吡啶存在下，对苯甲醇的氧化具有较高的电催化性能。根据原位FTIR分析，将苄醇选择性氧化为苯甲醛。
