Abstract
The polymer deriving from thionaphthene-indole has been prepared by electrochemical oxidation of the monomer in methylene chloride on platinum electrode. The oxidized polymer so obtained has been reduced on the same electrode to a neutral polymer, which is processable and soluble in several solvents. Both oxidized and neutral polymers have been characterized by UV, IR and mass spectrometry. The electrical conductivity of the oxidized material has been found to be nine orders of magnitude greater than that of the reduced product.
