Abstract
Detailed experimental procedures are given for the chemical synthesis from aniline of analytically pure emeraldine hydrochloride, a highly conducting polymer derived from the emeraldine oxidation state of polyaniline, which contains equal numbers of oxidized and reduced repeat units, the non-protonated base form of which has the composition,. In the as-synthesized polymer, ∼ 42% of the nitrogen atoms are protonated i.e. “doped”. Treatment of this material with 1.0M aqueous HCl gives by elemental analysis, the most highly conducting (metallic) form of the emeraldine oxidation state of polyaniline in which 50% of the nitrogen atoms are protonated. Experimental details are given for converting the as-formed emeraldine hydrochloride to analytically pure emeraldine base. The conductivities of samples of emeraldine base protonated by aqueous HCl to various extents as determined by elemental analysis are reported. Electrochemical studies involving the emeraldine base are consistent with its having a composition very close to the proposed composition involving equal numbers of oxidized and reduced repeat units.
