Lm. Goldenberg et al., LOW POTENTIAL BENZENE ELECTROPOLYMERIZATION WITH TRIFLIC ACID - ELECTROPOLYMERIZATION IN DICHLOROMETHANE ON PT AND FE ELECTRODES, Synthetic metals, 55(2-3), 1993, pp. 1360-1364
The oxidation potential corresponding to benzene electropolymerization
is greatly lowered by addition in dichloromethane of a superacid such
as trifluoromethanesulfonic acid. Under these chemical conditions ele
ctrochemically stable poly(p-phenylene) films are Obtained on platinum
and iron electrodes.
