Proton transfer versus redox modulation in thiourea-phenanthrenequinone molecular and polymeric complexes

Joseph B. Carroll, Mark Gray, Graeme Cooke and Vincent M. Rotello

Phenanthrenequinone undergoes highly efficient proton transfer processes in the presence of a thiourea-funtionalised polystyrene copolymer whereas interactions with a similar benzyl-thiourea monomer show strong redox modulation of the quinone without proton transfer.
