OXIDATION–REDUCTION POLYMERS: II. STANDARD OXIDATION POTENTIALS OF REDOX HOMOPOLYMERS AND THEIR MONOMERIC MODELS

Abstract

A new monomer, 2,5-bis-(2-tetrahydropyranyloxy)-4-methyl-4′-vinyldiphenyl sulphone, has been prepared. The standard oxidation potentials of two linear redox homopolymers, derived from this monomer and the one previously reported (1), and of their intermediate and model compounds, have been measured using continuous and discontinuous titration techniques.
