Aromatic amine electrochemistry

A thorough review of aliphatic and aromatic amine electrochemistry has been written by Nelson (21). 

Further examples of related multi redox-active macrocycles 89 — 91 have also been synthesised and their electrochemistry examined [108 — 110], Calix-4-arenes have also been derived from ferrocene to form monomeric macrocycles of type 92 or 93 together with dimeric compounds of type 94 [102] and crystal structures of the latter two compounds were reported. Solution HNMR and electrochemical studies in CH3CN, CHCI3, or CH2CI2 showed, however, that there was no complex formation between these calixarenes and either aliphatic or aromatic amines. 

Before we look at the electrochemistry of polyaniline in detail, we will consider the voltammetric data of various aromatic amine compounds to see how we can best utilize electrochemistry. 

Major interest in the electrochemistry of polyaniline was generated only after the discovery that aromatic amine, pyrrole, thiophene, ftiran, indole and benzene can be polymerized anodically to a conducting film...
