Poly(dicarbazol-9-alkane)s and end-capped dicarbazol-9-ylalkanes were
studied in order to obtain information about the redox behavior of pol
y(9-vinylcarbazole). Strong pi-dimer effects were observed in the case
of 1,3-bis(3,6-diethylcarbazol-9-yl)propane. An additional electron t
ransfer incase of poly(9-vinylcarbazole) at higher potentials (1.7 V v
s. Ag/AgCl) was also attributed to interaction between the carbazole r
ings.
