Abstract
Poly(5-amino-l-naphthol) is a new conducting polymer, obtained by electropolymerization of 5-amino-l-naphthol. Raman spectroscopy confirms the structure which consists of amine (-NH-C) and imine (- N = C) links between naphthalene rings, characteristic of a polyaniline-like structure. Its redox properties were investigated in aqueous acid (pH 0) by in situ Raman spectroscopy. Some amine units are reversibly transformed into imine groups on oxidation.
