Electroinitiated polymerization of allylphenylether

Abstract

Electroinitiated polymerization of allylphenylether via constant potential electrolysis was accomplished in acetonitrile at room temperature. Electroinitiated polymerization of the monomer yielded insoluble polymers on the surface of the anode together with soluble polymers in the bulk solution. The structural analyses of the polymers were done by 1H‐NMR and FTIR spectroscopy. 1H‐NMR results showed that monosubstituted aromatic ring of the monomer becomes tri‐substituted during the electroinitiated polymerization. The effect of monomer concentration and applied potential on the rate of electroinitiated polymerization were also studied. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Investigation of phenol electrooxidation in aprotic non-aqueous solvents by using cyclic and normal pulse voltammetry

“…Film porosity determines the diffusion transport barrier properties, and redox species can be selected to estimate the permeability. There are some works about the electropolymerization of halogenated phenols from their transition metal complexes and electroinitiated polymerization of phenols having unsaturated side chain mainly in acetonitrile and dimethyl formamide [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]. Application of a strong pyridinetype base determines the product of electrooxidation of phenols; for example, in case of 4-tercbutylphenol the corresponding dimer forms [27].…”
