Abstract

2,3-Dimethylindole, N-benzyl-2-methylindole  and 2-(dibenzyl-4-yl)-7-benzylindole (DBBI) under conditions for potentiodynamic electrochemical  polymerization  (0.3–0.9 V vs. Ag/Ag+ in acetonitrile) underwent dimerization reactions as was shown by simulation  of  the potentiodynamic cycles. But DBBI alone polymerized (and only on Au), obviously because of its free N and C(3) positions. This conducting polymer  could be technically  interesting,  because it does not show redox activities in the potential range 0.0–1.1 V vs. Ag/AgCl-electrode.
