71. Scan rates for poly (3)-poly (8) above 100 mV/s resulted in distortions of the electrochemical profiles due to kinetic limitations on the counterion diffusion in and out of the polymer matrix.
72. XPS analysis of the monomers was unsuccessful due to their inability to form thin films.
73. The diimine thin film poly (1) could not be deposited on either stainless steel or ITO glass for further characterization.
74. The cyclization succeeded in eliminating the reduction of the diimine moiety, but thin films of poly (2) were not detected on the electrode in monomer-free solutions.

80. To support this argument, the thione analogue of the Kuhn carbene was synthesized, analyzed by cyclic voltammetry, and shown to possess similar electrochemical features as described in the literature for other thione compounds. The electrochemistry of the Kuhn thione is shown in the Supporting Information.
