Synthesis and characterization of poly (ortho-anisidine) using quinoliniumfluorochromate (QFC) [C9H7NH(CrO3F)] as an oxidizing agent

Poly(o-anisidine) has been prepared using quinolinium fluorochromate C9H7NH [CrO3F] (QFC) as an oxidizing agent and the polymer was obtained in good yi eld. The detailed electrochemical studies have been performed in the presen ce of QFC in aqueous and non-aqueous media. TG analysis exhibited that the synthesized polymers have relatively high thermal stability. Conductivity o f the polymers was found in the range of 10(-9) to 10(-3) Scm(-1) and the m agnetic susceptibility measurement show the paramagnetic behaviour. The stu dy also include the structural elucidation and external morphological prope rties of the synthesized polymers.
