Initiators for the chemical aniline polymerization

Summary form only given. It has been found H/sub 2/1rCl/sub 6/, HMoCl/sub 6/, NiCl/sub 2/ essentially influence on the initial stage of the chemical aniline polymerization. Visible spectrophotometry shows that introduction of these salts strongly decreases induction period in pH range from 0 to 3. It was established that either in the presence of the initiators or without them the square root of the optical density is proportional to time. Efficiency of the initiators is increased in the line: H/sub 2/IrCl/sub 6/> HmoCl/sub 6/>NiCl/sub 2/. The polymer obtained is characterized by the strong shift of its molecular mass distribution in the direction of the high molecular masses. Specific conductivity of the flexible films and semitransparent thin films 1/sub 2/ Ohm/sup -l/cm/sup, -1/ and 10/sup -3/ Ohm/sup -1/ per square. Electrochemical experiments on glasscarbon show potential drop during aniline polymerization in presence of the H/sub 2/IrCl/sub 6/. A complex between aniline and salts introduced was registered by spectrophotometry.
