Electroactive films of nickel(II)–cyclam (1,4,8,11-tetra-azacyclotetradecane) covalently attached to polypyrrole

Abstract

A monomeric molecule consisting of a nickel(II)–cyclam derivative covalently linked to a pyrrole subunit has been synthesized and characterized; its electropolymerization results in an adhesive conducting film on glassy carbon.
