【摘要】 尽管聚苯胺具有原料价格低、合成简单、导电率高、耐高温及抗氧化性好、环境稳定性好和优异的氧化还原反应可逆性能等优点,并在许多方面获得了应用和产业化。但是,人们对聚苯胺的结构、特性、合成、掺杂、改性、用途等方面的认识还有待进一步深入。目前在聚苯按研究和开发中主要存在以下两个问题,它们使聚苯胺的应用受到了一定的限制。首先,由于聚苯胺骨架链中存在良好的共轭性,同时聚苯胺中相近聚合物链上的氨基和亚胺其之间存在较强的氢键,使得聚苯胺不能很好地溶于有机溶剂中和具有较高的脆性而难于加工。其次,聚苯胺及其衍生物的性质与聚合方式和聚合条件有密切的关系,尤其是它们的内部结构、表面形貌、导电性和电化学性质均与合成过程中的单体溶度、电解方式、电位高低、电流大小、反应体系中的酸度和介质有着密切的关系。造成此现象的原因直到现在还无明确的结论,这主要是因为苯胺的聚合反应机理可能比人们现在掌握的情况要复杂,目前尚无明确的定论。因此针对这两个问题的研究是这一领域的热点之一。共聚是解决前一个问题的重要方法之一;而后一个问题的解决则要依赖许多现代测试技术和手段;同时,共聚也是深入研究苯胺聚合机理的重要途径。因此,本论文试图用在线紫外-可见光谱较系统地跟踪研究苯胺及其衍生物的共聚过程,并对聚合物和共聚物进行表征,提出一些有关苯胺聚合机理方面的信息;用此测试技术也研究了聚合物和共聚物的电变色性质;并对邻甲基苯胺和对苯二胺共聚物上纳米铂粒子负载情况及其它对甲醇电催化氧化的情况进行了研究,得到了一些有意义的结果。论文的主要内容如下:1.电聚合苯胺过程的在线紫外-可见光谱用在线紫外-可见光谱电化学的方法在对0.5mol/L硫酸水溶液中苯胺在ITO导电玻璃电极上的电化学聚合的过程进行了较详细的研究。结果表明在循环伏安条件下苯胺发生了电聚合,聚合的速率与苯胺的浓度成正关系;而且在线紫外-可见电化学光谱表明在0.01 mol·dm-3苯胺溶液的电聚合过程的诱导期较长。恒电位条件下的在线紫外-可见电化学光谱显示苯胺浓度为0.05 mol·dm-3,电位为0.8 V时,在ITO电极上苯胺低聚合物中间体可能产生于聚苯胺形成之前;而0.01mol·dm-3苯胺在0.8 V电位下不发生聚合,但在线紫外-可见光谱又显示此时在电极上可能存在苯胺小的低聚物的中间体;在线紫外-可见光谱表明这种中间体是可能产生并存在电极表面上的。2.在线紫外-可见光谱研究ITO导电玻璃电极上苯胺与对苯二胺的电化学共聚及其产物的表征苯胺与对苯二胺在ITO导电玻璃上发生了电化学共聚合,在0.5 mol·dm-3H2SO4水溶液的纯苯胺和苯胺与对苯二胺共聚时的循环伏安曲线以及其对应的在线紫外-可见光谱表明对苯二胺的加入除了发生共聚外,也使聚合的速率明显加快;而且纯苯胺在循环伏安电化学聚合时在430nm处出现的吸收带因对苯二胺的加入而消失,说明对苯二胺的加入使聚合的机理与纯苯胺的聚合机理有明显不同,主要原因是苯胺产生的反应中间体可能很快与对苯二胺的阳离子自由基反应聚合。在导电玻璃ITO上的聚合物膜的反射傅立叶红外光谱表明,对苯二胺的加入可能产生了具有1,2取代模式结构,这说明了对苯二胺结合进入到聚合物中。这种共聚使得产物的表面形貌也发生了变化,聚合物扫描电镜图表明对苯二胺的加入有利于纤维状的表面形貌产生,纤维的直径可达到50nm粗细;同时用在线紫外-可见光谱研究了纯聚苯胺和共聚物随电位变化的电变色性质,结果表明在0 V-0.6 V之间共聚物与纯聚苯胺的在线紫外-可见光谱有明显的不同,且共聚物的电变色可逆性比纯聚苯胺好;同时SEM图也表明在0.8 V电位下聚苯胺和共聚物表面形貌发生了团聚。3.恒电位电解共聚邻甲基苯胺和对苯二胺的在线紫外光谱研究在0.5 mmol·dm-3硫酸介质中和恒电位氧化条件下,用在线紫外-可见光谱较详细地研究了邻甲基苯胺和对苯二胺在氧化铟锡导电玻璃电极上(ITO)的电化学单聚合和共聚合反应。结果表明邻甲基苯胺和对苯二胺在ITO电极上均能发生电化学单聚合反应,反应的情况与电解电位和单体的浓度有关。当邻甲基苯胺浓度为20 mmol·dm-3,电解电位为0.9 V(相对于饱和的Ag/AgCl)时,在线紫外-可见光谱表明在电极表面可能产生诸如二聚体等低分子量的集聚物。在低电位0.7 V(相对于饱和的Ag/AgCl)下,电聚合200 mmol·dm-3邻甲苯胺时,有明显的诱导期存在。当电解浓度较低的对苯二胺体系时,用在线紫外-可见光谱可以观察到没有发生明显的电聚合,但在ITO电极表面上可能存在有通过C-C,C-N和N-N键偶合成的二聚体等低分子量的集聚物。当对苯二胺浓度较高时,相应电聚合的在线紫外-可见光谱表明对苯二胺主要通过C-N键的偶合发生了电聚合反应。在恒电位电解的条件下,邻甲基苯胺和对苯二胺能发生电化学共聚反应。相应的在线紫外-可见光谱表明,对苯二胺的加入不但促进和加速了聚合反应,而且还结合进聚合物中形成了phenazine或类似于phenazine的环结构,此结构信息也进一步得到了聚合物的反射傅立叶变换红外光谱的支持。同时,聚合物的扫描电子显微镜(SEM),表明对苯二胺的加入不仅加速了聚合反应,而且由于对苯二胺进入聚合物的骨架引起了聚合物结晶方式的改变使表面形貌有无规则的颗粒状变成纤维状。纤维的直径100 nm左右,长度可达1000 nm。4.电化学共聚邻甲基苯胺和邻氨基苯甲酸和共聚物的电变色性能及其表征研究在0.5 mol/LH2SO4水溶液中,以ITO导电玻璃为工作电极,用恒电位电解的方法,在0.9 V电位下电化学共聚邻甲基苯胺和邻氨基苯甲酸。本文涉及的电化学聚合均用在线紫外—可见光谱进行跟踪,结果表明电化学共聚随着反应体系中邻氨基苯甲酸的浓度的增加而变慢;同时,在电化学聚合过程中的电流—时间瞬时响应曲线表明聚邻甲基苯胺和共聚物均可能是以三维累积成核的方式沉积在ITO导电玻璃电极上。所得的均聚物和共聚物均用FTIR、扫描电镜和光谱电化学进行表征,扫描电镜图表明由从200mmol·dm-3OT/50 mmol·dm-3 AA和150mmol·dm-3 OT/50 mmol·dm-3 AA反应体系得到的共聚物的表面形貌具有小颗粒和较为致密的表面形貌。共聚物膜具有比聚邻甲基苯胺更好的电变色性能,尤其它的响应时间要比聚邻甲基苯胺的短。5.循环伏安法电化学共聚邻甲基苯胺和对苯二胺及其共聚物负载铂纳米粒子的应用研究在0.5 M H2SO4中,用循环伏安法能使邻甲基苯胺和对苯二胺在金属铂上发生电化学共聚。不同浓度邻甲基苯胺和对苯二胺混合体系的循环伏安图表明对苯二胺和邻甲基苯胺可能形成了较高活性的反应中间体,导致了对苯二胺能加速电化学的聚合反应。聚合物和共聚物的傅立叶变换红外光谱和紫外-可见光谱说明对苯二胺进入了聚合物的骨架中,可能形成了具有phenazine的环结构的结构单元。对苯二胺与邻甲基苯胺的共聚可能使共聚物显现出更好的电子离域结构。聚合物的扫描电镜图表明共聚物的表面形貌与共聚体系中随着对苯二胺的浓度增加而变得更为疏松多孔的小颗粒状。用循环伏安法获得的聚合物膜在不含单体的0.5 mol·dm-3H2SO4中的电化学活性实验结果表明与均聚物相比共聚物具有更多的电化学活性位。无论是均聚物还是共聚物均对对苯二酚的电化学氧化还原具有明显的催化作用;而与对苯二胺相关的活性位可能因结构上的位阻作用而不参与对苯二酚的电化学氧化还原。聚邻甲基苯胺和邻甲基苯胺与对苯二胺共聚物的还原态均能与氧气发生氧化还原反应,而且共聚物与氧气的作用要比均聚物的快。导致这种情况的主要原因可能是共聚物表面粗糙和内部多孔性造成的。SEM、EDAX和透射电镜(TEM)表征的结果表明:通过电化学的方法能方便地将铂金属以纳米粒子的形式负载到聚邻甲基苯胺和邻甲基苯胺与对苯二胺共聚物上,而且在共聚物上的铂粒子更小,约在25nm以下。这说明了铂粒子在共聚物较为粗糙的表面上和多孔结构中不易团聚,有利于小颗粒的铂粒子生成。负载有铂纳米粒子的聚邻甲基苯胺和邻甲基苯胺与对苯二胺共聚物均对甲醇具有比裸铂电极更好的电催化氧化活性。由于在共聚物上的铂粒子更小,所以其在电催化氧化甲醇过程中可能不易中毒。6.间甲基苯胺电化学聚合以及它与对苯二胺电化学共聚的原位紫外—可见光谱在0.5 mol·dm-3硫酸介质中,循环伏安法电解间甲苯胺的原位紫外可见光谱图表明聚间甲基苯胺产生在氧化铟锡(ITO)导电玻璃电极表面上。在恒电位条件下,用原位紫外-可见光谱较详细地研究了间甲基苯胺在氧化铟锡导电玻璃电极上(ITO)的电化学聚合。结果表明间甲基苯胺只能在较高电解电位和单体浓度足够大的条件下才能发生电化学聚合。在0.7V(相对于饱和的Ag/AgCl),0.2mol·dm-3的间甲基苯胺和0.9V,20 mmol·dm-3的间甲基苯的实验条件下,尽管在ITO电极上没有发生电化学均聚合,但原位紫外-可见光谱表明在电极表面上可能还形成低分子量的齐聚物。在低电位0.8 V下,电化学聚合200 mmol·dm-3间甲苯胺时,有明显的诱导期存在。在恒电位电解的条件下,相应的原位紫外-可见光谱和聚合物的FTIR表明间甲基苯胺和对苯二胺能发生电化学共聚反应,由于对苯二胺可能与间甲基苯胺形成了具有较强反应活性的中间体,使得对苯二胺的加入不但促进和加速了聚合反应,而且还结合进聚合物中形成了phenazine或类似于phenazine的环结构。通过比较邻甲基苯胺和间甲基苯胺在同等条件下电化学聚合的在线紫外-可见光谱、电流时间瞬时曲线和聚邻甲基苯胺与聚间甲基苯胺的表面形貌图,可以得出尽管这两个聚合物的链结构一样,但它们的表面形貌和聚合物表面与相应单体发生作用的反应活性是不一样的。
【Abstract】 For more than 30 years,Polyaniline,as a very hopeful conducting polymers withmany potential advanced applications,have attracted considerable attention due to itsrelatively easy preparation,excellent environmental stability,good acidic and electricdopability.The conductivity of polyaniline comes from its delocalizedπ-conjugatedbond,but the structure of polyaniline also leads to its lack of solubility in organicsolvents and its poor processible properties,which have restricted its practical utility.In order to overcome these difficulties,there are two important approaches employedto improve the properties of polyaniline conductive polymers:one is to polymerizesubstituted anilines such as N-substitued and aromatic ring substituted anilines usingchemical and electrochemical methods;the other is to produce some specialcopolymers between different aniline derivatives through the two methods mentionedabove.In particular,not only could the copolymerization approach tune the propertiesof copolymers by changing the ratio of different monomer concentration incopolymerization system bath;but also the structural information of copolymers andhomopolymers might be acquired through comparing the characteristics,i.e,FTIRspectra,Raman spectra,SEM images and UV-vis spectra,of copolymers with that ofhomopolymers.Further,the studies on copolymerization get more knowledge aboutthe reactivity of monomers and the mechanism of homo/copolymerization using insitu FTIR spectra,in situ UV-vis spectra,etc..For this reason,the copolymerizationbetween different aniline derivatives is being paid more and more attentionincreasingly.In this thesis,the main studies are focused on the following six topics1、Study on Electropolymerization of Aniline with in situ UV-VISSpectroelectrochemistryThe mechanism of the electro-polymerization of aniline in 0.5M sulfuric acidwas studied in detail by in situ UV-vis spectrometry.Spectroelectrochemicalexperiments were done in a three electrode cell built with a quartz cuvette of lcmpath length.the work electrode was ITO(indium-tin oxide) conductive glassperpendicular to light path,and the counter electrode was platinum wire.OneAg/AgCl with saturated KCl served as reference electrode.All potential values in thearticle were against to the reference.The acquired in situ UV-vis spectra showed thatpolyanilines could be electropolymerized at aniline concentrations 0.01 mol·dm-3,0.05 mol·dm-3 and 0.2 mol·dm-3 in sulfuric acid by cyclic voltammetry.Based onin situ UV-Vis spectra corresponding to cylic potential sweep at three differentconcentration of aniline above,the plots of the relationship between absorbance at350nm and 750nm and elctrolysis time was made,which showed that the obviousinductive period in electropolymerization of aniline by cyclic voltammetry was seen for 0.01 mol·dm-3 aniline in 0.5 mol·dm-3 sulfuric acid water solution.In order tostudy how the concerntration of aniline in 0.05 mol·dm-3 sulfuric acid and potentialapplied ITO conductive glass electrodes effected the polymerization of aniline,In situUV-Vis spectra was recrded during electrolysis of solution by potentiostaticmethod at different concentrations of aniline in 0.5 mol·dm-3 sulfuric acid.Thesein situ UV-vis spectra indicated that the polymerization of aniline occurred byelectrolysis of aniline at potential 0.8V,1.0V and 1.3V when the concentration ofaniline was greater than 0.05mol/L,however at potential 0.8V,the polymerization ofaniline did not happen in 0.01mol/L of aniline.In situ UV-vis spectra at the earlierphase of aniline electropolymerization by potentiostatic way showed that the 350nmabsorbance band appeared before 750nm absorbance band.This fact proposed thatlower molecular weight oligomer intermediates during electrochemicalpolymerization of aniline might be existed and that the intermediate was brought outprior to the production of polyaniline on ITO electrode.When ITO conductive glasselectrode was placed parallel to light path,no absorbance bands were observed duringelectrolyzing 0.05 mol/L of aniline at potential 0.8V,which showed that intermediateand polymer mainly were produced on ITO conductive glass electrode.Thesephenomena was not reported up to now.When aniline concentration was 0.01mol/Land the potential applied on ITO glass conductive was 0.8V,there were onlyabsorbance band at 350nm in corresponding in situ UV-vis spectra,which showedthat the intermediates such as low molecular oligomers could be produced and existedon ITO electrode,but did not lead to form polyaniliane because of lowerconcentration of intermediate.After aniline of 0.05 mol/L in 0.5mol/L sulfuric acidwas electropolymerized by potentiostatic electrolysis at potential 0.8V for 70 minutes,the electrolysis was stopped,but in situ UV-Vis spectra were recorded continually.The red shift of absorbance band in spectra was seen,which indicated that polyanilineproduced on ITO electrode was of oxidized state and could react with anilinemonomer in solution to form polyaniline toward reduced state.2、Study on Electrochemical copolymerization of aniline withp-phenylenediamine on ITO electrode by in situ UV-visSpectroelectrochemistry and Characterization of the copolymerIt was observed by in situ UV-vis spectrometry that the polymerization ofp-phenylenediamine and the electrocopolymerization between aniline andp-phenylenediamine happened by cyclic voltammetry.Experimental results showedthat the absorbance band at 430nm in in situ UV-Vis spectra disappeared because ofthe presence of p-phenylenediamine.It was a direct evidence which indicated theaddition of p-phenylenediamine changed the mechanism of theelectro-polymerization of aniline on ITO electrode in 0.5 mol/L sulfuric acid solution.FTIR spectra of films deposited on ITO electrode was obtained and showed that 1,2or 1,2,3 substituted modes could exist in the copolymer films.The SEM images of the films showed the additional p-phenylenediamine could changed markedlymorphology of films and promoted the growth of fibrous morphology with large area.The diameter of fiber in film grown on ITO electrode might reach 50nm.Theelectrochromic behaviors of polymer films were studied in detail.At the potentialranged from 0.0v to 0.6v,the in situ UV-Vis spectra of copolymer film deposited onITO electrode was obviously different from that of polyaniline film on ITOelectrode.The electrochromic reversibility of copolymer was better than that ofpolyaniline.Furthermore,SEM morphology images indicated that electrolyzingpolyaniline and copolymer on ITO electrode at 0.8V in 0.5 mol/L H2SO4 madethem aggregate.3、Study on Electrochemical Copolymerization of o-Toluidine withp-Phenylenediamine on ITO Electrode by in situ UV-VisSpectroelectrochemistryOn the condition of potentiostatic electrolysis,the electropolymerization ofo-toluidine and p-phenylenediamine,and the electrocopolymerization betweeno-toluidine and p-phenylenediamine on indium-tin oxide(ITO) conductive glasselectrode was studied in detail by in situ UV-Vis spectrometry in a 0.5 mol/L sulfuricacid media.It was showed that both o-toluidine and p-phenylenediamine could beelectropolymerrized on ITO electrode,which depended on the applied electrolysispotential and the concentration of monomer.At 20 mmol/L of o-toluidine and 0.9V(vs saturated Ag/AgCl) of electrolysis potential,the polymerization did not happenwhereas the low molecule weight oligomer such as dimers could be produced on ITOelectrode.The obvious induction period was observed when elctropolymerization ofo-toluidine was performed on the 200 mmol/L o-toluidine at 0.7 V (vs saturatedAg/AgCl).At low concentration of p-phenylenediamine,in situ UV-Visspectrometry showed that the elctropolymerization of p-phenylenediamine did nothappen,but the low molecule weight oligomers such as dimers,etc could be createdon the surface of ITO electrode through C-C,C-N and N-N coupling.Theelctropolymerization of p-phenylenediamine,however,was carried out by C-Ncoupling at higher concentration of p-phenylenediamine.Furthermore,in situ UV-Visspectra indicated that the electrocopolymerization between o-toluidine andp-phenylenediamine could happen.The presence of p-phenylenediamine was not onlypromote polymerization but also accelerated polymerization.In addition,p-phenylenediamine could be incorporated into copolymer to make the copolymerhave phenazine or phenazine like cyclic structure,which was proved by thereflectance FTIR spectra of polymer and copolymer.The SEM morphology image ofpolymers obtained showed that beside accelerating polymerization,p-phenylenediamine also could change the way of nucleation for polymer to makecopolymer possess fibrous surface morphology.The diameter of copolymer fibre isabout 100 nm and the length of that reachs about 1000 nm 4、Study on Electrocopolymerization of o-Toluidine and AnthranilicAcid,the Electochromism of Copolymers,and Characterization of theCopolymersThe copolymers of o-Toluidine(OT) with anthranilic acid(AA) waselectrochemically synthesized on indium tin oxide (ITO) conducting glass electrodeby potentiostatic method at a potential of 0.9 V in sulfuric acid of 0.5 mole.dm-3.Theelectropolymerizaitons in the present study was followed by in situ UV-visspectrometry,which showed the rate of elecctropolymerization decreased as theconcerntration of anthranilic acid in reaction solution.The current-time transientcurve during electropolymerization indicated that poly(o-Toluidine) and copolymersmight be deposited on ITO electrode in three-dimensional progressivenucleation(3DPN).The resultant homo/copolymers was characterized using FTIR,SEM and spectroelectrochemistry.The SEMs of the copolymers from 200mmol·dm-3OT/50 mmol·dm-3 AA and 150mmol·dm-3 OT/50 mmol·dm-3 exhibit thatcopolymers have a smaller granular compact morphology.the resultant Copolymerfilms has more distinct electrochromic properties than poly(o-Toluidine).Especially,the response time of copolymers is shorter than that of poly(o-Toluidine).5、Study on Copolymerization of o-Toluidine with p-Phenylenediamineon Platium Electrode by Cyclic Voltammetry,and Charatrization andApplication of Platinum Nano Particles Loaded on CopolymersThe electrocopolymerization of o-toluidine and p-phenylenediamine occurred onplatinum electrode in the solution of 0.5 mol·dm-3 H2SO4 using cyclic voltammetry,during which the cyclic voltamgrams for different feed ratio of systems witho-toluidine and p-phenylenediamine showed the addition of p-phenylenediamine tothe solution of o-toluidine in 0.5 mol·dm-3 H2SO4 might lead to formation of morereactive intermediates.They accelerated the electrocopolymerization of o-toluidineand p-phenylenediamine.in comparison with the elctro-homopolymerization ofo-toluidine.Through FTIR and UV-vis spectra for polymer and copolymer,it wasindicated that the unit of p-phenylenediamine should be integrated into thebackbones of copolymers to form phenazine-like ring structures in the copolymers ofo-toluidine and p-phenylenediamine.These spectra also showed the delocalization ofelectron in copolymer might be better than homopoymer of toluidine.The SEMimages for copolymers clearly implied that the morphologies of copolymers wouldbecome more porous and smaller particles as the concentrations ofp-phenylenediamine in reaction system increased.By dynamic-potential scanningpolymers in 0.5 M H2SO4 in absence of monomers,the acquired cyclicvoltammgrams proved that the copolymers have more kinds of electrochemical activesites due to the presence of the unit of p-phenylenediamine in the backbone ofcopolymers.Both poly(o-toluidine) and copolymers could catalyzed the redox of hydroquinone electrochemically,but the cyclic voltammgrams for the electrochemicalredox of hydroquinone on polymers suggested that the active sites relative to the unitofp-phenylenediamine in the backbone of copoplymers seemed not to catalyze thisredox reaction due to steric hindrance arising from the unit ofp-phenylenediamine.Furthermore,oxygen can easily oxidized both reduced poly(o-toluidine) andcopolymers;the later were oxidized by oxygen faster than the former sincecopolymers had a more porous and rough morphology with smaller particles.It wasproved through SEM,EDAX and TEM that Nano platinum particles could be loadedon poly(o-toluidine) and the copolymer of o-toluidine and p-phenylenediamine.Inparticular,the size of nano platinum particles on the copolymer was much smallerthan on poly(o-toluidine) to reach below 25 nm,which showed that unlike onpoly(o-toluidine),the platinum particles can not aggregated easily to form largerparticles on copolymers.The nano platinum particles loaded on poly(o-toluidine) andcopolymers had better electrochemical catalytic activity toward electro-oxidation ofmethanol than bare platinum.Due to much smaller platinum particles on copolymers,they had better ability to resist poison during their electrocatalytic oxidation ofmethanol than the larger nano platinum particles on poly(o-toluidine).6、In situ UV-Vis Spectroelectrochemistry for Electropolymerization ofm-Toluidine and Electrocopolymerization of m-Toluidine withp-PhenylenediamineIn a 0.5 mol·dm-3 sulfuric acid medium,cyclic voltammograms of m-toluidineand its corresponding in situ UV-Vis spectra indicate that the poly(m-toluidine) filmwas produced on the surface of the electrode.Under the condition of potentiostaticelectrolysis,the electropolymerization of m-toluidine on an indium-tin oxide(ITO)conductive glass electrode was studied in detail by in situ UV-Vis spectrometry.Itwas showed that m-toluidine could be electropolymerized on the ITO electrode onlyunder the condition of higher electrolysis potential and lager concentration of themonomer.At 0.2 mol·dm-3 of m-toluidine,0.7V(vs.saturated Ag/AgCl) and 20mmol·dm-3 of m-toluidine,0.9 V(vs.saturated Ag/AgCl),in situ UV-Visspectrometry indicated the polymerization did not happen whereas the low moleculeweight oligomer such as dimers could be produced on the ITO electrode.The obviousinduction period was observed when elctropolymerization of m-toluidine wasperformed in the 200 mmol·dm-3 m-toluidine at 0.8 V (vs.saturated Ag/AgCl).Furthermore,in situ UV-Vis spectra showed that the electrocopolymerizationbetween m-toluidine and p-phenylenediamine was performed.Thep-phenylenediamine might react with m-toluidine to yield more active intermediates,which not only promote polymerization but also accelerate polymerization.Inaddition,through that p-phenylenediamine could be incorporated into copolymer tomake the copolymer have a phenazine or phenazine like cyclic structure,which wasproved by the FTIR of polymers.
