Abstract
The electrochemical behaviour ofN-vinyl-thionaphthene-indole (VTNI) has been investigated and compared with that of other similar heterocyclic molecules. By electro-oxidation of VTNI in methylene chloride at+1.2 V an oxidized dimer or a black oxidized polymer have been obtained, depending on the monomer concentration. The polymeric material is a cross-linked structure with intermonomer bonds involving both aromatic rings and vinyl side groups.
