ChemInform Abstract
The formation of organic films by controlled-potential electrolysis ( oxidation) of an aqueous solution containing surfactants such as (I) or (II) with a ferrocenyl moiety (preparation described) and organic compounds (18 examples) incorporated in micelles or in a dispersed organic pigment (17 examples) with use of surfactants is examined. Opaque films of compounds such as azo dyes, vinylcarbazole, or 4,4′- didodecylviologen are formed with the former mechanism and transparent films of e.g. phthalocyanine compounds, perylene derivatives or quinones are formed with the latter. The difference between the two mechanisms is discussed.
