Abstract
Abstract The electrochemical oxidation of diphenylamine in acetonitrile produces an adherent conducting polymer film at the electrode. Conductivity measurements on pressed pellets of this polymer give a room temperature conductivity of 10 S cm −1 . The polymer can be cycled between 25 and 200°C without deterioration in the conductivity. Preliminary SEM/EDS studies suggest that there is one BF − 4 counter ion for every four monomer units in the oxidised polymer film.
