The Theoretical Evaluation of the Electropolymerization of Conjugated Compounds, Accompanied by their Electrocyclization
Abstract
The theoretical evaluation of the electropolymerization of the pi-conjugated
organic compounds has been given. The correspondent mathematical model has been
developed and analyzed by means of linear stability theory and bifurcation analysis. It was
shown that the presence of the electrochemical cyclization of conjugated compounds gives its
strong impact on electropolymerization process, yielding the compounds with the possibility
to enter the polymer chain as monomers. The cyclization may also be the cause of the
oscillatory and monotonic instability in the system.
