Electrogeneration of conducting poly(2,5-di-(-2-furyl)-pyrrole)

Adherent and insoluble films of oxidized poly(2,5-di-(-2-furyl)-pyrrole) [poly(ONO)] have been anodically synthesized on Pt from a 5 mMmonomer solution in acetonitrile + water (3:2 v/v) mixture with 0.2 M LiClO 4 at 0.016 mA cm -2 with a productivity of 1.45 μg mC -1 . Their reduced films have been further obtained in the same electrolyte by applying -0.082 mA cm -2 . The density, conductivity and percentage of doping ClO 4 - for both oxidized and reduced poly(ONO) have been determined.
