Polymerization of new aniline derivatives: synthesis, characterization and application as sensors.

ABSTRACT: This work is focused on modifying aniline monomers with various characteristics that allows one to study the effect of the substituent on the respective polymer. A series of new polyaniline (PANI) derivatives based on an ortho-substituted aniline derivative, 2-(1-methylbut-2-en-1-yl)aniline, were synthesized and characterized. The structures and composition of the polymers that we synthesized were confirmed by elemental analysis, proton nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H NMR) spectroscopy, carbon nuclear magnetic resonance (¹³C NMR) spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV). Characterization by FT-IR and UV-visible spectroscopy techniques indicated that the polymers exist in protonated emeraldine forms.
