Mc. Pham et al., ELECTROSYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF A NOVEL POLYMER FILM FROM 2-NAPHTHOL, Journal of the Electrochemical Society, 140(4), 1993, pp. 912-916
A novel polymer film, poly(NAP-2) was synthesized by electrochemical o
xidation of 2-naphthol. The polymer structure, elucidated by in situ m
ultiple internal reflection Fourier transform spectroscopy (MIRFTIRS)
was confirmed by electron spin resonance spectroscopy. It consists of
polymers P and oligomers Q. The P structure comprises alternate naphth
ylene and furan rings while the Q structure bears quinonoid groups in
the chain.
