AB  - Polymers from azulene (A) and 2-[(E)-2-azulen-1-ylvinyl]thiophene (B) 
      electrochemically synthesized are materials with a broad absorbance in the UV-vis 
      spectral region. An experimental approach to correlate the Raman and in situ FTIR 
      spectra from azulene based polymers according to the effective conjugation 
      coordinate theory (ECC) is presented. Film characterization was made by Raman and 
      Fourier transform infrared attenuated total reflectance, FTIR-ATR spectroscopy. 
      Throughout the whole work A was used as a model compound. The polymers were 
      synthesized at different polymerization potentials in order to create different 
      structures. Polyazulene showed a divergent Raman response upon change in 
      excitation wavelength, lambda(exc)= 514 nm and lambda(exc)= 780 nm, in comparison 
      to common conducting polymers. The FTIR-ATR measurements were made during 
      charging-discharging of the polymers. The IR spectra of the conducting state show 
      new doping induced infrared active vibrations (IRAV) in the region between 1600 
      and 700 cm(-1) and a broad electronic absorption in the high energy range 
      (4000-8000 cm(-1)). Two different structures of the polymer from B are formed, 
      and both follow the trends for conducting polymers upon charging.
