β¦ Synopsis
The iniluence of water in the anodic coupling of two pyrrole monomers (3-methylthiopyrrole (1) and dihydrobenzo-[1.2-b:4$b']-dipyrrole (2)) to polypyrrole in acetonitrilc was investigated by cyclic voltammetry and controlled potential electrolysis. Oxidation requires 1 e-mol-' in anhydrous conditions and (2 + x) e-mol-' (x =0.25 and 0.5 for (1) and (2) respectively) in the presence of 1% H1O. The ESUhB are explained by competitive proton scavenging action of pyrrole and water.
