Abstract

The role of metal complexes as redox mediators in the electrosynthesis of poly (p- xylylenes)(PPXs) has been explored, with a view to designing metal-containing precursors that can act both as mediators and starting materials for metal-containing polymers. A number of transition metal complexes [Cr (III), Ni (II) and Co (II)] are efficient redox catalysts for production of quinodimethanes, and hence PPXs. Following encouraging results from ...
