Dipyrrolyl monomers with more or less flexible and bulky spacers have
been synthesized. The electrochemical behaviour of these monomers and
their corresponding polymers has been investigated. Convergent results
, obtained by cyclic voltammetry of the monomers and the polymers, ESC
A analysis and mass measurements, demonstrate that from an early stage
of polymerization, the monomers are oxidized at both pyrrolyl units,
leading to different polymer structures, depending on the spacers used
