Abstract

AbstractThe mechanism of the Gilch polymerization leading to poly(p‐phenylene vinylenes) is still a matter of controversial discussion. Similar to some other research groups, we strongly favor a basically radical process. Moreover, we believe it is initiated by spontaneously formed diradicals. Here, we describe further experimental evidence which clearly supports the assumed initiation step: it is shown how the polymerization process is affected quantitatively when different amounts of 2,2,6,6‐tetramethylpiperidine‐N‐oxyl (TEMPO) are added as a scavenger. In full agreement with our expectations, the chain growth is either retarded or completely prevented, depending on the respective molar ratio of monomer and scavenger.magnified image
