Paper
The catalytic activity and recyclability of self-assembled electrochemical polymerized 1,2-bis(3-thiophene imine) ethylene (B3TIE) and N-octadecyl-3-thiophenylimine (NOTPI) monolayers (ECP-SABM) with Li2PdCl4 were enhanced compared to those prepared without an electrochemical polymerized monolayer (SABM). This was also proven to be a universal rule for thiophene derivatives with these methods.
