Sc. Ng et al., POLY(O-AMINOBENZYLPHOSPHONIC ACID) - A NOVEL WATER-SOLUBLE, SELF-DOPED FUNCTIONALIZED POLYANILINE, Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (13), 1995, pp. 1327-1328
A novel self-doped polymer having alkylphosphonic acid moieties on pol
yaniline is synthesized from persulfate oxidative coupling of o-aminob
enzylphosphonic acid 3; the resulting polymer apart from being water s
oluble in its self-doped monosodium salt form, demonstrates excellent
redox stability when subjected to potentiometric cycling, between 0.0
and 1.0 V.
