Abstract
The electrochemical oxidation-reduction of polymeric nickel(II) complex of N,N′-bis(3-methoxysalicylidene)ethylenediamine was investigated in acetonitrile and 1,2-dichloroethane-based solutions by a combination of in situ conductance measurements, quartz crystal microbalance, and cyclic voltammetry. The type of electrolyte solution is shown to have a pronounced effect on the variations in the electrical conductance and ion and solvent transfer at the polymer/solution interface when the polymer is electrochemically switched between various oxidation states.
