Investigation of Electrochemical Reversibility and Redox-Active Polypyrrole Film Formation of Amide Ferrocene-Pyrrole Derivatives
Electrochemical oxidation of bis-(N,N’-bisethyl)ferrocene 1,1’-dicarboxamide (1), N,N’-bis-[2(pyrrole-1 -yl)ethyl]-N,N’-bisethylferrocene)-1,1’-dicarboxamide (2) and N-[2-(pyrrole-1-yl)ethyl]-N-ethylferrocene-1-carboxamide (3) was investigated in 0.1 M TBAP/CH3CN by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and chronoamperometry. In the potential range of 0-0.6 V a reversible diffusion-controlled process was observed with formal potentials of 0.30, 0.31 and 0.22 V, respectively. The diffusion coefficients of 1, 2, and 3 have been evaluated from both CV and chronoamperometric data. Polypyrrole films of 2 and 3 have been obtained potentiostatically (at 0.85-1 V) and by CV on platinum and glassy carbon electrodes in 0.1 M TBAP/CH3CN. These films were tested in 0.1 M TBAF(4)/CH3CN, and 0.1 M TMABF(4) or LiClO4/H2O. The immobilized ferrocene is well characterized in CH3CN by a symmetrical shape signal and also has a satisfactory electrochemical response in water. The influences of monomer concentration and synthesis charge on the modified electrode performances were analysed. The observed linear dependencies of peak current on scan rate and electropolymerization charge in agreement with the power law were discussed.
