Synthesis, Characterization and Study of Effect of Irradiation on Electronic Properties of Polyaniline Composite with Metal Complex of Co (III)

AbstractThe present work reports the synthesis of PANI composite with hexamminecobalt(III) chloride metal complex as dopant via in situ oxidative polymerization by ammonium persulphate in non-aqueous DMSO medium. The dopant metal complex has been synthesized by known method and characterized by using FTIR, XRD and SEM analysis. The synthesized PANI/[Co(NH3)6] Cl3 composite was characterized by FTIR, XRD, UV-Vis and SEM techniques. FTIR of PANI composite showed its successful synthesis with the presence of some dopant peaks in its FTIR spectrum. XRD spectra of composite revealed its crystalline...
