Electrosynthesis and analytical characterization of films obtained by oxidation of 2,6-diaminopyridine
Abstract
The oxidation of 2,6-diaminopyridine in acetonitrile–LiClO4 at a platinum electrode leads to the formation of two different films (I and II), depending on the deposition potential. Electroanalytical investigations revealed in ECE mechanism operating for film I formation and provided evidence for nucleation and growth in film II deposition. UV and ESCA spectroscopic characterization revealed the different natures of the films.
