Abstract
The electrochemical oxidation of title compounds (I and II) may yield dimers or polymers according to the effective experimental conditions. The structure of dimers (coupling at the 3 position of each carbazyl unit) was fully confirmed by comparison with chemically prepared sampl es. Polymerization may also occur anodically. Especially with dicarbaz oles (II), redox polymers were obtained. Active centers were identifie d as being dimer units included in the polymer matrix. Product analysi s was based upon voltammetric and spectroelectrochemical data of dimer s and polymers. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science S.A.
