| Abstract | Polymer growth at Au electrodes during cyclic voltammetric oxidation of dopamine (DA) in aqueous solutions was investigated as functions of DA concentration, solution pH and potential-sweep rate with the use of electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance technique. When the DA concentration was 2 � 10 � 4 M or above and the solution pH was 3.86 or above, the intramolecular cyclization of the first-step oxidation product of DA occurred significantly and further isomerization and oxidation of the cyclization product led to polymer growth at an Au electrode. An ECECEE mechanism for DA oxidation and subsequent polymerization of the oxidation product (5,6-indolequinone) at favorable pH is suggested. The poly(indole)-like polymerization pathway was acceptably supported by comparative minigrid-electrode experiments via Fourier transform infrared characterization of poly(indole) and the polymer from DA oxidation. The quasi first-order rate constant of the intramolecular cyclization was estimated at several pH values by cyclic voltammety. It was also found that the intramolecular cyclization and subsequent polymer deposition at the electrode can be notably inhibited by using various high-concentration supporting electrolytes, with inhibition sequences as |
