The electrochemical oxidation-reduction process occurring in poly(5-amino-1-naphthol) thin films was studied by <em>in situ</em> FTIR and probe beam deflection. It was demonstrated that the charge compensation process depends on the medium. In acidic aqueous solution, the dominant species is the proton while in acidic or neutral nonaqueous solution, anion exchange is predominant.
