Abstract
Electrolysis of a solution of a quaternary ammonium perchlorate or tetrafluoroborate produces a transient species capable of polymerizating n-butyl isocyanate: some direct reduction of the monomer also occurs. High molecular weight polymer is produced during the early stages of the reaction, and small but measurable quantities of cyclic trimer are formed during the later stages. Kinetic analysis of the polymerization indicates a complex reaction mechanism; above a certain current density the overall rate of reaction appears to be zero order in current. The rate also shows an unusual acceleration and appears to depend on the quantity of monomer already consumed.
