Gg. Ryzhik et al., SYNTHESIS, ACID-BASE PROPERTIES, AND ELECTROCHEMICAL-BEHAVIOR OF PALLADIUM(II) COMPLEX WITH AMETHYLDIBENZO-[B,I][1,4,8,11]TETRAAZA[14]ANNULENE, Journal of applied chemistry of the USSR, 65(5), 1992, pp. 894-899
An original method of synthesis of palladium(II) complex with ramethyl
dibenzo[b,i][1,4,8,11]tetraaza[14]annulene (TMTAA) was presented and t
he acid-base properties and electrochemical behavior of the compound w
ere investigated. It was found that protonation and one-electron oxida
tion are caused by elimination of one electron from the conjugated pi
system of the chelate ring and cause the same type of changes in the e
lectronic structure of the complex. It was shown that further electroo
xidation of [PdTMTAA] causes the formation of a conducting polymer fil
m on the electrode.
