Abstract

An in situ spectroelectrochemical technique has been employed to investigate the electropolymerization of 9-vinylanthracene. The propagation reaction as monitored from excimer emission of poly(9-vinylanthracene) followed pseudo-first-order kinetics. The dependence of the polymer yield and the propagation reaction rate constant on the monomer and initiator concentrations has been studied to elucidate the kinetics of the electropolymerization process. The energy of activation of the propagation reaction was 7.85 kcal mol-1.
