An investigation into the synthesis of conjugated bipyridinium-containing polymers

1,1'-dimethy1-4,4 1 -bipyridinium dication (methyl viologen) can be reversibly reduced to a blue radical cation, either electrically or photochemically. Other alkyl viologens behave similarly, but aryl viologens are more easily reduced, and this trend increases with the electron-withdrawing cap...
