Jhp. Utley et al., POLYTEREPHTHALOYLENES - THE ELECTROCHEMICAL POLYMERIZATION OF TEREPHTHALOYL HALIDES, Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (20), 1993, pp. 1540-1542
By analogy with the cathodic cleavage, elimination and polymerisation
of 1,4-bis(halomethyl)benzenes, benzene-1,4-diacylchlorides are shown
similarly to undergo cathodic polymerisation to the linear polyterepht
haloylenes.
