Results of in situ UV–vis spectroelectrochemical studies of the electropolymerization of o-phenylenediamine (OPD), m-toluidine (MT) and the copolymerization of OPD with MT are reported. Electropolymerization was performed in aqueous acidic medium at a constant potential of ESCE = 1.0 V at an indium doped tin oxide (ITO) coated glass electrode. The course of homopolymerization was followed for MT and OPD solutions with various monomer concentrations. The spectral characteristics of the mixed solutions were studied at a constant concentration of MT and various concentrations of OPD in the comonomer feed. An absorption band at λ = 497 nm was assigned to the head-to-tail mixed dimer/oligomer resulting from the cross reaction between OPD and MT cation radicals. UV–vis spectra recorded during copolymerization show dependence of the growth of the band at λ = 497 nm on OPD concentration in the feed. At lower OPD feed concentration it appears as the major band in the corresponding spectra. The UV–vis spectra recorded for the copolymer films suggest the incorporation of both monomer units in the copolymer. The FT-IR spectra of the copolymers show the presence of phenazine type structures in the copolymer backbone.
