Abstract

The electrochemical quartz crystal nanobalance was employed to study the electropolymerization of 6-aminoindole on gold electrodes in acidic media. Potentiostatic or potential cycling electrooxidation of 6-aminoindole below 0.5 V vs. saturated calomel electrode leads to the formation of multilayer polymeric films, while at higher positive potentials, further oxidation takes place resulting in a different material which remains attached to the metal surface but shows decreased or no redox activity. A mechanism of the redox transformations of poly(6-aminoindole) which involves protonation-deprotonation accompanying the electron transfer is suggested. In this potential range, a yellow-green reversible color change occurs. At higher positive potentials blue-purple, indigo-type compounds are formed, and bond-breaking leads to the decrease of the electroactivity. © 2013 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
