ANODIC GENERATION OF NEW IONOPHORIC CONDUCTING POLYMERS

The anodic polymerization of aromatic compounds possessing ether and p olyether functions in their structure leads to organic materials endow ed with specific complexing properties. One describes the formation of organic polymers with polyether cavities, the experimental conditions necessary to obtain such materials, the mode of dedoping by chemical and electrochemical reagents, the use of those resins as membrane and ionophoric materials specifically devoted to the extraction of inorgan ic cations, from aqueous and organic solutions, especially at extremel y low concentrations.
