Oligomeric oligoaniline derivatives of diethyl Δ1,4‐dihydroterephthalate (V–VIb–d) of diethyl terephthalate (VIIb–d) and linear oligoanilines (Ib–d) were synthesized. Ultraviolet spectra and polarographic half‐wave potentials corresponding to the first degree of oxidation of linear oligoanilines of type (I) were studied, their iodine complexes prepared, and their electric and magnetic properties studied. Increase of chain length of the base causes increase of λmax of ultraviolet bands, decrease of ionization potential, and increase of electric conductivity of iodine complexes in solid state. The properties of the five‐membered oligomer (Ic) differ only slightly from analogous properties of the seven‐membered oligomer (Id); the same holds in the case of their iodine complexes. Such substances may be regarded as in some respects models of a linear polyaniline polymer or its complexes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
