Abstract

Thin films of polyaniline (PANi) have been in-situ deposited onto fused silica plates modified with ruthenium porphyrin and polypyridyl complexes coordinated to self-assembled monolayers of pyridyl-terminated alkylsilanes. Based on UV-vis and AFM studies, PANi exhibits a slower deposition rate and an earlier onset of secondary nucleation on the metal complex-modified interfaces. Electrical conductivity of the HCl-doped emeraldine salt form of PANi is increased to as high as 40 S/cm, relative to <1 S/cm on bare silica, measured under the same conditions and in the absence of any external modification to the polymer films. These changes are attributed to favorable π interactions between the aromatic surface species and the conjugated polymer that lead to a more expanded coil conformation for PANi.
