Abstract
This communication reports the production of polyphenylpyrrole coated silver nanoparticles at the liquid/liquid interface by an EC-type mechanism. In the electrochemical step of the reaction N-phenylpyrrole facilitates the transfer of the silver ion from an aqueous to an organic phase. This step is followed by a slow homogeneous electron transfer reaction from the N-phenylpyrrole to the silver ion followed by polymerization and metal cluster growth.
