Synthesis and characterization of new redox-active polymers based on 10-(1,3-dithiol-2-ylidene)anthracen-9(10H)-one derivatives

New redox-active polymers consisting of 10-(1,3-dithiol-2-ylidene)anthracen-9(10H)-one derivatives were synthesized and their electrochemical properties were examined by cyclic voltammetry. The monomers as well as the polymers showed stable redox potentials and are potential candidates for organic electronics applications like organic radical batteries.
