Abstract
The electrochemical redox processes of poly(5-cyanoindole) (P5CN) in acidic aqueous solutions were investigated using in situ Raman and optical absorp tion spectroscopy. Vibrational assignments were made on the basis of the re sults obtained on polyindole and P5CN in acetonitrile solution. The drastic changes in optical absorption and Raman spectra observed at various oxidat ion stages were explained by the conversions between at least three differe nt structures.
