T. Saika et al., PREPARATION OF POLYVIOLOGEN-MODIFIED TIO2 BY PHOTOCATALYTIC POLYMERIZATION OF BIS(4-CYANO-1-PYRIDINIO)-P-XYLENE DIBROMIDE, Chemistry Letters, (12), 1993, pp. 2025-2028
Methylviologen was prepared from 4-cyano-1-methylpyridinium chroride b
y photocatalytic reduction using TiO2 powder. In the similar manner, i
nsoluble polyviologen was deposited on TiO2 powder by photocatalytic p
olymerization of bis(4-cyano-1-pyridinio)-p-xylene dibromide. Moreover
, polyviologen-polyanion complex modified TiO2 was prepared in the pre
sence of polyanion salt.
