Conclusions
-
1.
The value of the normal redox potentials depends on the nature and number of heterocycles connecting the quinone rings in the polymer macromolecule.
-
2.
The introduction of quinonediimine groups into the structure leads to an increase in the value of the normal potential.
-
3.
Polyquinones possess a high value of the electron exchange capacity. From linear polymers to polymers with staircase structure, the value of the exchange capacity decreases, but the rate of redox processes increases.
-
4.
The introduction of p-benzoquinone as a catalyst increases the rate of the oxidation reaction.
-
5.
In repeated redox cycles, the value of the electron exchange capacity decreases by 3–7%.
