Abstract: Poly(p-oligophenylene amine)s, -[(p-C<subscript>6</subscript>H<subscript>4</subscript>)<subscript>m</subscript>NH]<subscript>n</subscript> - (m = 2-4), receive electrochemical and chemical oxidation similar to polyaniline (m = 1). In the electrochemical oxidation (or p-doping) in aqueous media and acetonitrile, the oxidation of the polymer with m = 3 occurs at higher potentials by about 1.0 and 0.6 V, respectively, compared with that of polyaniline.
