Redox processes in the solution of Ni(II) complex with salen type ligand and in the polymer films

The films derived from salen complexes deposited on the Pt electrode surface (poly[Ni(salcn)], poly[Ni(salcn(Me))], poly[Ni(salcn(Bu))]) were obtained as a result of anodic electropolymerization processes. On the basis of FTIR ATR spectroscopy and CV experiments, the relationship of the polymer films structures, charge transport and the potential range of the applied electrosynthesis was shown.
