The electrooxidation of 1,5-diaminonaphthalene (1,5-DAN) in acidic aqu
eous, methanol and organic media leads to polymer film on glassy carbo
n and Pt electrodes. The in situ infrared study during film growth and
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis indicate that the pol
ymer structure consists of amine (-NH-C) and imine (-N=C) units, beari
ng free -NH2 groups in the chain. The polymer structure was confirmed
by a multiple internal reflection FT-IR spectroscopy (MIRFTIRS) study
of the film redox process and by the ability of poly(1,5-DAN) film to
chelate copper ions. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserve
