Adherent electroactive films of poly͑o-phenylenediamine͒ ͑PPD͒ were obtained by electropolymerization of o-phenylenediamine ͑o-PD͒ on 304 stainless steel under potentiostatic conditions. The in situ Fourier transform infrared reflectance spectroscopy study suggests a phenazine ring ladder-structure polymer. Open circuit potential and potentiodynamic studies of PPD-coated steel electrodes, in chloride aqueous solution show a positive shift of the corrosion potential.
