Phenylacetylene, diphenyldiacetylene and methyl propiolate were polymerized by electrochemical initiation in aprotic, polar solvents (dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide and acetonitrile) using ammonium, phosphonium, arsonium and stibonium quaternary salts (alkyl‐, aryl‐ and alkyl‐aryl‐substituted) as background electrolytes. The effect of electrolyte nature and concentration, of the solvents and of electrolysis conditions on the product yields were studied as well as some properties of the obtained polymers.
