Therefore, in this investigation, the simultaneous measurement of the tranmittance and
redox potential was conducted because the redox potential indicates the time-dependent
data of the mole fraction of the reduced and oxidized Ru(bpy) 3 moiety in the polymer
solution in accordance with the Nernst equation. By utilizing the time-dependent data of the
redox potential, the dynamics of the self-oscillating behavior was analyzed because the
solubility of the polymer chain is determined by the redox state of the Ru moiety.
