Poly(2-amino-4-tert-butylphenol), poly(2A-4TBP), was synthesized from monomer aqueous solution using either electrochemical or chemical oxidation procedures. Several spectroscopic characterization techniques were employed to gain information on the chemical structure and redox behavior of the obtained materials. It was found that the chemical polymerization product could be described as an oligomer mixture containing up to 16 monomer units. In parallel to other polymers derived from o-aminophenol, phenoxazine rings constitute also the basic structure of poly(2A-4TBP). In addition, the occurrence of N-N couplings, which are favored by the presence of the voluminous tert-butyl substituent, seems also relevant. No significant structural differences were found between the chemically or electrochemically synthesized materials.

聚（2-氨基-4-叔丁基苯酚），聚（2A-4TBP），是使用电化学或化学氧化方法从单体水溶液中合成的。几种光谱表征技术被用来获得所获得材料的化学结构和氧化还原行为的信息。已经发现化学聚合产物可以描述为包含最多16个单体单元的低聚物混合物。与衍生自邻氨基苯酚的其他聚合物平行，吩恶嗪环也构成了聚（2A-4TBP）的基本结构。此外，NN耦合的发生，这是由大体积的存在有利于叔丁基取代基似乎也很重要。在化学或电化学合成的材料之间未发现明显的结构差异。
