Abstract
The electrochemical behavior of a soluble polyimide (Tani-polyimide) derive d from an aniline trimer was investigated, Similar to processes observed in polyaniline, two typical redox processes involving protonation and ion ins ertion were observed. Due to the presence of an isolated, short quinonediim ine or N,N'-diphenyl-p-phenylenediamine segment, Tani-polyimide displayed a n electroactivity at higher potentials and did not undergo an electrochemic al degradation reaction.
