Abstract
It is demonstrated that thee anodic oxidation of 2,5-bis(tert-butyldim ethylsilyl) isothianaphthene in Bu4NBF4/nitrobenzene electrolyte resul ts in the formation of poly( isothianaphthene) film with an average po lymerization degree of 20. Disilylated isothianaphthene dimer and trim er do not polymerize in this electrolyte giving upon anodic oxidation stable radical cations and dications.
