GARCIA CANADAS, J. et al. Electropolymerisation of Phenylacetylene on Pt Electrodes with Propylene Carbonate and Acetonitryle as Solvents. Port. Electrochim. Acta [online]. 2004, vol.22, n.4, pp.411-431. ISSN 0872-1904.
The electropolymerization of phenylacetylene on a Pt electrode has been carried out in two different solvents, acetonitryle and propylene carbonate. The kinetic study carried out leads to values in the kinetic parameters which are significantly different in both solvents. The values deduced for na, Z (reaction order with respect to the phenylacetylene concentration) and activation enthalpy and entropy, were 0.75, 1, 25.3 kJ mol-1 and -87.0 J mol-1 K-1, respectively, in acetonitrile, and 0.25, 0.5, 33.6 kJ mol-1 and -105 J mol-1 K-1, when working in propylene carbonate. The discrepancy in the values can be explained as a consequence of the change in the initiation step of the polymerisation induced by the adsorption of the acetonitryle molecules. The product obtained was isolated, purified and characterised to be formed by a polyenic chain with a linear trans structure. The average molar mass of the product was 3095, corresponding to a polymer formed from around 30 units of monomer.
