Abstract
The electrochemical oxidation of p-fluoroanisole (p-FA) in the solvent acetonitrile leads to oligomers and polymers of poly(paraphenylene) type. The electropolymerization process involves coupling reactions of the cation radicals intermediates. The obtained polymers are separated according to their chain length by selective precipitation in cyclohexane and ether. The corresponding structures are characterized by NMR, MS, FTIR, UV and XR diffraction. A preliminary physical study shows that the polymers are photoluminescent with a maximum emission in the near infrared.
