J. Raultberthelot et C. Roze, NEW POLYFLUORENYLIDENES SUBSTITUTED BY DONOR OR ACCEPTOR GROUPS, Journal de chimie physique et de physico-chimie biologique, 95(6), 1998, pp. 1188-1191
The anodic oxidation of fluorenylidenes I, II: or III leads in specifi
c experimental conditions to polymers. The presence of cyano group(s)
in poly(II) and (III) allows the formation of polymer-metal composites
(Au, Ag, Pt, Pd). These composites are used as electrode material duri
ng the oxidation of various substrates (hydrazine, methanol, formaldeh
yde, azides...).
