Cc. Han et Rc. Jeng, CONCURRENT REDUCTION AND MODIFICATION OF POLYANILINE EMERALDINE BASE WITH PYRROLIDINE AND OTHER NUCLEOPHILES, Chemical communications, (6), 1997, pp. 553-554
Polyaniline emeraldine base 1 can be easily modified by pyrrolidine an
d other nucleophiles, e.g. piperidine, morpholine, alkane-1-thiols and
mercaptoacetic acid, presumably via a concurrent reduction and substi
tution mechanism.
