✦ Synopsis
Al~tract--The electrochemical polymerization of adipic acid via the Kolbe synthesis was investigated in various solvent systems. High melting insoluble polymers were obtained; they contained, besides the hydrocarbon chains obtained from the free radical Kolbe mechanism 2no -(nHOOC(CH:hCOOH , n "(CH:)°' + 2nCO2 + nH~), ester groups obtained through the cationic mechanism (HOOC(CH_,h--COO • --~-----, I"IOOC(CH,); + CO:).
Polymer yield, as well as ester group content, increased on passing from methanol to methanol-pyridine (I :4). The structure of the polymers is discussed.
