T. Ishioka et al., PHOTOSENSITIVE OLIGOMER FORMATION AND LASER-INDUCED POLYMERIZATION OFANILINE ON A GOLD ELECTRODE SURFACE - A SURFACE-ENHANCED RAMAN-SCATTERING STUDY, Chemistry Letters, (8), 1998, pp. 765-766
The process of laser-induced electropolymerization of aniline was stud
ied by in situ surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy a
nd cyclic voltammetry (CV). Formation of p-coupled aniline oligomers w
as confirmed at an electrode potential below the oxidation potential o
f aniline, and the oligomers were found to be the source compound for
photoinduced electropolymerization.
