The electrochemical oxidation of benzidine to obtain an electroactive film of polybenzidine (poly-Bz) is reported. The yield of the electropolymerization reaction depends on temperature and pH in a way that indicates that there is a competitive reaction to film formation. A mechanism that explains these effects and that is used to calculate the rate coefficients of early stages of the process is...
