Photocatalytic synthesis of modified polyaniline

In this article carried out the photocatalytic synthesis of polyaniline from aniline with the participation of d-metal salts: FeCl3·6H2O, Fe2(SO4)3·6H2O, Fe(NO3)3·6H2O, FeSO4·6H2O, CuSO4·5H2O, NiCl2·6H2O, as well as polyaniline derivatives: poly-ortho-pentenylaniline from ortho-pentenilaniline, poly-ortho-cyclopentenilaniline from ortho-cyclopentenilaniline, poly-ortho-cyclohexenilaniline from ortho-cyclohexenilaniline. The subject of the study is the influence of the nature of the catalyst on the yield of the product. As a result of the study, it was found that, Fe(NO3)3·6H2O exhibits the best photocatalytic activity, and CuSO4·5H2O has a good promotional effect.
