Abstract

Electrochemical and optical spectroelectrochemical characterization of an electrode- confined siloxane-based polymer having two benzylviologen subunits flanking a benzoquinone subunit is reported. The polymer,(BV-Q-BV6+),, is formed by hydrolysis of the- Si (OMe), groups of the monomer I, 1, 1"-[2, 5-dichloro-3, 6-dioxo-1, 4-cyclohexadiene-1, 4- diyl) bis [imino-2, 1-ethanediyl (dimethy1iminio) methylene-1, 4-phenylenemethylene]] bis ...
