Abstract

A new complex of aniline (An) with tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCQM) An(TCQM)4 has been obtained and studied. The redox cycling of polyaniline (PAni-sulfo) in a neutral electrolyte containing Cl and ClO4 anions led to a replacement of the sulfate anion by the Cl and ClO4 anions. The TCQM anion can also replace the sulfate anions in polyaniline (PAni) during the cycling of the latter in a neutral electrolyte containing TCQM anions. The introduction of TCQM in PAni creates conditions for generating nanocrystalline regions inside the polymer.
