SYNTHESES AND CYCLIC VOLTAMMETRY OF PYRROLE COPOLYMERS SUBSTITUTED BY ANTHRAQUINONE, PHENOTHIAZINE OR ANTHRACENE MOIETIES

Several homopolymers and co-polymers are described starting from pyrrole monomers derivatized by anthraquinone, phenothiazine and anthracene moieties. The syntheses of the monomers and the polymers are described, and it has been found possible to prepare bifunctionalized co-polymers bearing two different substituents of each kind in almost any relative proportions by random co-polymerization of binary monomer solutions. The study of these polymers was performed by cyclic voltammetry, which showed as expected the electrochemical response of the couples included in accordance with the polymer composition. The conductivities of the polymers were also measured in some cases. © 1990.
