Electrochemical and Mass Change Study of the Growth of Poly-(o-Phenylenediamine) Films on Au Substrates
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The electropolymerization of o-Phenylenediamine (oPDA), both in the absence and presence of Fe3+ in solution, was investigated in detail using cyclic voltammetry concurrently with the quartz crystal microbalance (QCMB) technique. It is shown that a set of redox peaks (A1/C1), seen between 0.05 and 0.4 V is characteristic of the phenazine-like PoPDA polymer, produced by the irreversible radical oxidation of the oPDA monomer at a Au surface and forming an oPDA radical cation that initiates the polymerization step at >0.8 V vs. RHE. The QCMB results showed that ca. 20% of the oxidized product deposits on the Au surface as a redox-active polymer film, with charge compensation by H+ injection/expulsion along with some inhalation/exhalation of water. The presence of Fe3+ in solution during electropolymerization led to very similar electrochemistry, with ca. 50% of the oxidized product forming the redox-active polymer film. The PoPDA films are very smooth and uniform, while films formed in the presence of Fe3+ are coated with Fe-containing nodules ca. 0.8 μm in diameter, which hinder the further growth of the PoPDA film.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
