Reaction of Aniline with FeOCl. Formation and Ordering of Conducting Polyaniline in a Crystalline Layered Host

摘要: A detailed study of the intercalative polymerization reaction of aniline with FeOCl, an extensive physicochemical and spectroscopic characterization of the products, and their oxidative behavior in air is presented. FeOCl reacts with excess aniline in CH3CN at 25 C, in air, to form black microcrystalline products containing polyaniline (PANI) of the general formula (PANI) xFeOCl (I). X-ray diffraction from a single crystal of (PANI) xFeOCl shows that the polymer is intercalated in an ordered fashion that is commensurate with the FeOCl …
