Abstract
Abstract Anodic coupling of naphthalene on platinum or glassy carbon electrodes in anhydrous acetonitrile and 1,2-dichloroethane with tetrafluoroborate as electrolyte yields exclusively 1,4-polynaphthylene films, with a higher degree of polymerization being obtained in the latter medium. The polymer is reversibly oxidized and reduced at 1.15 and −2.7 V versus Ag/Ag + respectively.
