Anodic behaviour of mono- and bisdithiafulvenyl-9,9'-spirobifluorene: insertion of vinylogous TTF into the spirobifluorenyle framework
New three-dimensional copolymers containing 9,9'-spirobifluorenyl-ethylene units were prepared by anodic oxidation of 9,9'-spirobifluorenes 2-mono- or 2,7'-disubstituted by a dithiafulvenyl unit. The synthesis, physicochemical properties and electrochemistry of both monomers and derived oligomers and polymers are reported.
