Therefore, boron-doped diamond electrodes (BDD) were tested next because they are known to exhibit superior electrochemical stability (entry 3). Using BDD electrodes, the monomer conversion and polymer yield were increased slightly to 73% and 45%, respectively. GPC analysis revealed the polymer produced using BDD electrodes had a lower Mw when compared to glassy carbon electrodes. However, due to the high cost of BDD electrodes, glassy carbon electrodes were used for subsequent reactions.
