Reductive electropolymerization of N-methyl-3-pyridylethynyl-porphyrins†
Abstract
Cyclic voltammograms, UV-visible and FT-IR spectra show that porphyrins with two N-methyl-3-pyridylethynyl substituents can undergo reductive electropolymerization on Pt and ITO electrodes. The films are redox active and a mechanism is suggested.
