Murray and co-workers have reported on the synthesis and molecular permeability of electrode-supported films obtained via oxidative electropolymerization of tetra(ortho-aminophenyl)porphyrin species.

10. Wamser and co-workers suggest, on the basis of cell resistance measurements, that the films described in ref 8 are permeable to electrolyte solutions. Using the electrochemical methodology described below, however, we find these films to be completely blocking toward the smallest redox probe salt examined, sodium iodide. Nevertheless, under certain conditions, with thinner films than described here, we do observe electrochemical responses from probe ions and molecules. The responses are both large and insensitive to probe size, indicating that probes reach the electrode by passing through film physical defects (probably tears), rather than by permeating the film material itself. We suggest that physical defects similarly might well account for the reported low cell resistances.

19. Multiple attempts were made to remove the benzimidazole, including soaking the electrode-supported membrane in pure acetonitrile and in 10% perchloric acid. Neither approach removed the benzimidazole, and higher concentrations of acid dissolved the membrane. The persistence of ligand binding in the film environment, although difficult to explain, has been encountered previously; see ref 17.
