Are there any works, involving ClO2in situ cathodic electrogeneration? My idea is to reduce ClO3- to ClO2, and then polymerize pyrrole on cathode, using the redox pair ClO2 to ClO2-. Is it viable?
Hi Volodymyr - If you are synthesizing conductive polymers e.g Polypyrrole from Pyrrole by electrochemical methods you can refer the following reference - see below.
https://gmwgroup.harvard.edu/pubs/pdf/441.pdf
Chemistry of MATERIALS. 1995, 7, Pg 526 Authors Gorman et al.
Here Pyrrole is oxidatively electropolymerized from an aqueous solution of sodium perchlorate electrolyte to form a black film on a gold electrode etc.
Another method of synthesizing Polypyrrole is the oxidation of Pyrrole using Ferric Chloride in Methanol. This is a less toxic process.
n C4H4NH + 2 FeCl3 → (C4H2NH)n + 2 FeCl2 + 2 HCl
Hope this info helps.
Thanks,
Sanjoy Mullick
Well. I´m pretending to provide a cathodic process, because it makes better polymer structures in acidic solutions than for the electrosynthetized polymer.
