Abstract
Several poly(3-acylpyrrole)s have been studied by cyclic voltammetry. The influence of some common impurities like water and cyanide present in the solvent-electrolyte system on the redox behavior of the polyme r films were emphasized. Due to the presence of such impurities we hav e also observed changes in the macroscopic properties of the films suc h as their electrical conductivities. There is enough evidence that th e amount of such impurities can be correlated to the degree of the so called overoxidation process.
