Electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance studies of poly(ortho-toluidine) films exposed to aqueous perchloric acid solutions

We describe electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance measurements on poly(o-toluidine) (PoT) films exposed to aqueous perchloric acid solutions (pH 0 to 2). Crystal impedance measurements show the films to behave rigidly. PoT redox switching occurs in two stages and is accompanied by nonmonotonic...
