Abstract

A simple and template-free chemical synthesis of nanowires of poly(thionine) (PTHNWs) by catalytic reaction of thionine in the presence of FeCl₃ and hydrogen peroxide is presented. Spectroscopic characterization indicates that the PTHNWs are formed successfully by the oxidation of monomer units through secondary amino-bridging and that contain free amine groups. The chemically synthesized PTHNWs show electrochemical properties comparable to those of a thin film of poly(thionine) (PTH) prepared by electrochemical deposition on a glassy carbon (GC) substrate, which will facilitate their application to various types of electrochemical sensor.
