Abstract
Octacyanophthalocyanine is found to undergo oxidative polymerization u nder electrochemical conditions at 1.6 V. The polymer was characterize d by infrared and UV-Vis spectra. The polymer-coated electrode undergo es a reversible electrochemical process when cycled in various electro lytes. The coated film acts as an ion exchange membrane specific to ca tions. This was proved by electrochemically trapping Fe(Phen)(3)(2+) i ons and monitoring the cyclic voltammetric response of the incorporate d cations.
