Abstract

AbstractThe electrolysis of N‐vinylcarbazole in the solution of quaternary ammonium salts in dichloroethane leads to polymer formation in the anolyte. The effect of monomer concentrations, current levels, and nature of supporting electrolytes on the polymerization has been investigated. The polymerization is free radical with bromide salt and cationic with perchlorate or hexachloroantimonate salt. The poly(N‐vinylcarbazole) gets oxidized at the anode and can be cycled between the oxidized and neutral states. The oxidized polymers at the electrode may exhibit electrical conductivity.
