Poly(9,10‐anthrylen)e

Abstract

Based on a previous work the polymerization mechanism of anthracene was studied and it was found that the initial reaction step is represented by the formation of a radical ion.Poly(9,lO-anthrylene) was prepared in order to study the relevant properties with respect to its technological applicability. Pure poly(9,lO-anthry1ene)s even of relatively low molecular weight (about 3000) are infusable and nearly insoluble. Poly(9,lO-anthry1ene)s show good photoconduction. *) Postadresie: t)sterreichisches Kunststoffinstitut, Obj. 213, Franz Grill-Str. 5, Arsenal, 1030 Wien.'

Electrochemical polymerization of anthracene in boron trifluoride diethyl etherate

“…Due to its conjugative ring structure, anthracene is a promising block for building high-quality conducting polymers. A series of conducting polymers containing anthracene units has been prepared [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. However, to date, there have been only a few studies concerning the polymerization of anthracene, and the structures and properties of polyanthracene (PAn) have not yet been studied in detail [14].…”

Synthesis and properties of anthracene containing polyethers

“…Due to its conjugated system anthracene has been an attractive building unit for polymers. Polymers made only from anthracene units have been prepared by many authors [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] . In most cases anthracene rings were linked in 9,10-position by single bonds.…”
