Popis: We have studied oxidative polymerization of aniline dimer (N-phenyl-1,4-phenylenediamine) catalyzed by high-redox potential laccase isolated from the fungi Trametes hirsuta ( Wulfen ) Pilat CF-28. Enzymatic aniline dimer polymerization was performed in aqueous micellar solution of sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, the atmospheric oxygen serving as an oxidizer. The resultant dispersion was stable for at least 6 months. The products synthesized were characterized using Fourier transform infrared and UV–vis spectroscopies. MALDI TOF analysis has shown that aniline dimers polymerize to mainly form aniline oligomers with the m/z ratio up to 2180, which corresponds to a polymerization degree of 24 (in terms of aniline subunits). Enzymatically formed aniline oligomers consist for the most part of para-directed units in the form of emeraldine salt. The end product structure depends on the reaction medium pH. Transmission electron microscopy has revealed granular nanoparticles of the reaction product.
