Abstract: | The optima conditions to electrosynthesize poly(2,3‐diaminophenol) by electro‐oxidation of the monomer were determined, and the electrodeposits obtained characterized by electrochemical methods, UV‐vis, FTIR, conductivity and viscosity measurements. The influence of parameters such as electrolytical medium and electrochemical conditions on the electro‐oxidation of 2,3‐diaminophenol were also investigated. It has been established that appropriate deposits are obtained only when very anhydrous acetonitrile is used as solvent. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 38: 1698–1703, 2000 |
