Polymer deposit electrochemically

Claim 1

A METHOD OF ELECTROCHEMICALLY DEPOSITING ON A METAL SURFACE A POLYMER HAVING THE FORMULA: (-CHR-AR-CH2-)N WHERE N IS GREATER THAN 13; R IS HYDROGEN OR A MONOVALENT HYDROCARBON; AND AR IS A DIVALENT AROMATIC RADICAL, THE TWO VALENCES OF WHICH ARE LOCATED ON EACH TERMINAL CARBON ATOM OF A CHAIN OF 2 OR 4 OF THE RING ATOMS, SAID CHAIN HAVING ONE UNIT OF AROMATIC UNSATURATION FOR EACH TWO RING ATOMS, COMPRISING: MAKING SAID METAL THE CATHODE IN A SOLUTION OF A SOLVENT CONTAINING A MONOOR BIS-ONIUM SALT SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING Z(-CH2-N(+)(-R1)(-R2)-R3)M M(X(-)); Z(-CH2-P(+)(-R1)(-R2)-R3)M M(X(-)) AND Z(-CH2-S(+)(-R1)-R2)M M(X(-)) WHEREIN M IS 1 OR 2; R1, R2 AND RO ARE C1-C18 HYDROCARBYL GROUPS; Z IA A SUBSTITUTED OR UNSUBSTITUTED AROMATIC RING; AND X IS THE ANION OF A STRONG INORGANIC ACID; AND WHEN M IS 1, THE METHYLENE RADICAL IS ATTACHED TO A CARBON ATOM OF SAID AROMATIC RING SO AS TO BE SEPARATED BY A CHAIN OF 2 OR 4 RING ATOMS FROM AN SUNSUBSTITUTED HYDROCARBYL GROUP ATTACHED TO ANOTHER RING CARBON ATOM; AND WHEN M IS 2, THE METHYLENE RADICALS ARE ATTACHED TO DIFFERENT CARBON ATOMS OF THE AROMATIC RINGS SO AS TO BE SEPARATED BY A CHAIN OF 2 TO 4 RING ATOMS; IMERSING AN ANODE IN SAID SOLUTION AND SUBJECTING SAID SOLUTION TO ELECTROLYSIS, WHEREBY SAID POLYMER DEPOSITS ON SAID CATHODE.

Claim 2

A METHOD OF ELECTROCHEMICALLY DEPOSITING ON A METAL SURFACE A POLYMER HAVING THE FORMULA: (-CHR-AR-CH2-)N WHERE N IS GREATER THAN 13; R IS HYDROGEN OR A MONOVALENT HYDROCARBON; AND AR IS A DIVALENT AROMATIC RADICAL, THE TWO VALENCES OF WHICH ARE LOCATED ON EACH TERMINAL CARBON ATOM OF A CHAIN OF 2 OR 4 OF THE RING ATOMS, SAID CHAIN HAVING ONE UNIT OF AROMATIC UNSATURATION FOR EACH TWO RING ATOMS, COMPRISING: MAKING SAID METAL THE CATHODE IN A SOLUTION OF A SOLVENT CONTAINING A MONOOR BIS-ONIUM SALT SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING Z(-CH2-N(+)(-R1)(-R2)-R3)M M(X(-)); Z(-CH2-P(+)(-R1)(-R2)-R3)M M(X(-)) AND Z(-CH2-S(+)(-R1)-R2)M M(X(-)) WHEREIN M IS 1 OR 2; R1, R2 AND RO ARE C1-C18 HYDROCARBYL GROUPS; Z IA A SUBSTITUTED OR UNSUBSTITUTED AROMATIC RING; AND X IS THE ANION OF A STRONG INORGANIC ACID; AND WHEN M IS 1, THE METHYLENE RADICAL IS ATTACHED TO A CARBON ATOM OF SAID AROMATIC RING SO AS TO BE SEPARATED BY A CHAIN OF 2 OR 4 RING ATOMS FROM AN SUNSUBSTITUTED HYDROCARBYL GROUP ATTACHED TO ANOTHER RING CARBON ATOM; AND WHEN M IS 2, THE METHYLENE RADICALS ARE ATTACHED TO DIFFERENT CARBON ATOMS OF THE AROMATIC RINGS SO AS TO BE SEPARATED BY A CHAIN OF 2 TO 4 RING ATOMS; IMERSING AN ANODE IN SAID SOLUTION AND SUBJECTING SAID SOLUTION TO ELECTROLYSIS, WHEREBY SAID POLYMER DEPOSITS ON SAID CATHODE.
