Beschreibung

m-Toluidine is a coordination complex that is used in the detection of multi-walled carbon nanotubes. The coordination complex binds to the surface of the carbon nanotubes and changes its electrical conductivity, which can be measured by FTIR spectroscopy. m-Toluidine reacts with a diazonium salt in methanol to form an intermediate that decomposes into a quinoline derivative. The quinoline derivative reacts with methanol to produce hydrogen gas and glycol, which oxidizes to form hydrochloric acid. The redox potentials for this reaction are -0.078 V for the oxidation of glycol to form hydrochloric acid and 0.063 V for the reduction of hydrochloric acid back to glycol. This reaction mechanism is also shown by nmr spectra.
