Abstract

An electrochemical synthesis is developed through quantitative electrochemical reaction of N-alkylcarbazole leading to a novel class of structurally interconnected high-C60 content (60 wt%) polymer films with negligible doping and intrinsic physicochemical properties of pure C 60. This strategy allows preparation of previously unavailable low-doped fullerene-containing non-conjugated polymers and broadens the potential applications of electrochemical synthesis for controlled polymer film structures.
