Abstract

Synthetic routes to polyradicals are briefly reviewed; in addition the synthesis and electrochemical characterization of a novel anthraquinone derivatized thiophene monomer, 1-[4-(3-thienyl)butyl]2-anthraquinone carboxylate (I) is discussed. This monomer may be electropolymerized onto Pt in CH₂Cl₂ by successively more anodic potential sweeps from 0.0V, finally reaching a steady growth at a limit of +2.0V vs Ag^+/0. Thhe voltammogram of the resulting conducting polymer displays^a polymer waves at Ep^a + 1.0 and Ep^c + 0.84V, and quinone waves at E^0′ = -0.80 and -1.24V vs Ag.^+/0 The polymer is active towards O₂ reduction in pH7 buffered aqueous solution.
