Abstract

The impedance of poly(vinylferrocene) (PVF) films coated on Pt electrodes and immersed in acetonitrile solutions containing 0.1M tetra(n-butylammonium) perchlorate has been examined. Three distinct regions are observed in the complex impedance plots for these films: kinetic control at high frequencies, diffusional control at intermediate frequencies, and charge saturation at low frequencies. The effective diffusion coefficient for charge transport, D_CT, the redox capacitance, C_L, and the exchange current density, i₀, for the reaction [(PVF)ⁿ⁺-nClO^-₄ ] + ne^-⇌ PVF + nClO₄^-, have been measured as a function of the polymer oxidation state.
