Electrochemical polymerization of methyl-substituted quinolines

Abstract

Of the quinoline derivatives, only the 4-methyl-quinoline formed a polymeric film by electrochemical polymerization using acetonitrile as solvent and LiClO4 or TBA(ClO4) as supporting electrolyte. The film has good mechanical properties, and its conductivity was 10-3-10-5 S cm-1.
