ABSTRACT
The blue thin polyaniline base film changes its color to green after immersion of the film into dibutyl phosphonate. The green color of the film converts to a greenish-blue after heating to 200 °C in air, which is characteristic for the protonated conducting form of polyaniline. This is in contrast to the "standard" polyaniline hydrochloride, which is transformed into a cross-linked polyaniline base under such conditions. To explain this unexpected observation, the interaction of polyaniline base with dibutyl phosphonate at ambient conditions and after heating to 200 °C was studied using UV-visible, FTIR and Raman spectroscopies. On the basis of these studies, we propose that the dibutyl phosphite tautomeric form of dibutyl phosphonate, which interacts with polyaniline base at 20 °C, converts to the oxidized form, dibutyl phosphate, at 200 °C and subsequently protonates the film. Quantum-chemical modeling of the interaction of polyaniline base with dibutyl phosphite and dibutyl phosphate supports this explanation.
