“…These radicals can be further oxidized to quinones (14, 14 , Scheme 1) or can react irreversible (dimerization) to form dimeric products (15)(16)(17), Scheme 3 [7,8]). Such dimers can be oxidized again to produce radical (18,Scheme 4 [7,9,10]), which can couple with the phenoxy radical (3, Scheme 1) or with other dimeric radical (18,Scheme 3) to produce the polymer (19), as shown in Scheme 4. These schemes illustrate a possible route for the polymer film formation, through the coupling C O C, though any coupling through dimers shown in Scheme 3 may occur.…”
