摘要
A comparative study about cross-linking in electrogenerated polypyrrole and poly(N-methylpyrrole) is presented. Experimental studies on polymer films prepared under a constant potential of 1.4 V but considering different polymerization times as well as quantum mechanical calculations on model oligomers indicated that cross-linking is very low in polypyrrole, while cross-links are frequently formed by poly(N-methylpyrrole) chains. These behaviors have been attributed to the architecture of [he molecular chains, which is completely different for the two systems under study. Thus, polypyrrole forms linear chains with some irregularities in the inter-ring linkages, while branched molecules with many irregularities are the most stable for poly(N-methylpyrrole). These remarkable differences are fundamentally due to the steric repulsions induced by the methyl groups of poly(N-methylpyrrole). (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
