Polytyramines

The electrochemical oxidation of tyramine in NaOH/MeOH media gives films of polytyramine (25). The film, on a platinum electrode, can complex copper(II) ions from aqueous media and cobalt(II), iron(II), manganese(II) and zinc(II) from organic media. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy established that coordination of the metal ions had occurred. For cobalt, evidence of coordination to both ether and amine functions is obtained, but for the other metal ions evidence of ether coordination is less definitive.
