Protocol for the electrochemical polymerization of polyhydrocarbons from chlorinated methanes and an analysis of its polymerization reaction pathway

Summary: The mass production of polyhydrocarbons (PHCs) is achieved through electrochemical polymerization and its synthetic pathway is investigated using a combination of electrochemical techniques, NMR, and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Here, we present a protocol for the electro...

description Summary: The mass production of polyhydrocarbons (PHCs) is achieved through electrochemical polymerization and its synthetic pathway is investigated using a combination of electrochemical techniques, NMR, and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Here, we present a protocol for the electrochemical polymerization of PHCs from chlorinated methanes and an analysis of its polymerization reaction pathway. We describe steps for large-scale synthesis and characterization of PHCs and studying electrochemical polymerization reactions using cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry techniques along with NMR and FTIR spectroscopy using isotope-labeled reactants.For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Seo et al.,1 Lee et al.,2 and Seo et al.3 : Publisher’s note: Undertaking any experimental protocol requires adherence to local institutional guidelines for laboratory safety and ethics.
