Spectroscopic, thermal, and electrochemical characterization results are presented for the redox active polymer poly(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperinidyloxy-4-yl methacrylate) or PTMA, synthesized by group transfer polymerization (GTP), and its precursors 4-hydroxy-tetramethylpiperidine-N-oxyl (HO-TEMPO) and 4-methacryloyloxy-tetramethylpiperidine-N-oxyl (MO-TEMPO). DSC analysis of synthesized PTMA showed that the glass transition temperature (T-g) of the polymer structure occurs at 155 degrees C, corroborated by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), which is higher when compared with T-g data for PTMA synthesized by other methods. Also, the amount of radical species present in PTMA synthesized by GTP reactions (100%) is higher than the values typically upon synthesizing PTMA by radical polymerization. Electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical-electron spin resonance studies in acetonitrile revealed two redox events in the PTMA polymer, one of which is reversible, accounting for ca. 80% of the spins in the polymer and giving rise to the battery behavior. The other redox event is irreversible, accounting for the remaining ca. 20% of spins, which has not previously been reported. These two redox events are linked to a structural property associated with the tacticity of the polymer, where the reversible feature (responsible for cathode behavior) is the dominant species. This corresponds to a number of isotactic domains of the polymer (determined by high temperature H-1 NMR). The second feature accounts for the three-line impurity observed in the ESR, which has been reported previously but poorly explained, associated to the number of heterotactic/syndiotactic triads.
