POLYMERIC ANION-CONDUCTING COMPOUND, ITS PREPARATION AND ITS USE IN ELECTROCHEMISTRY

The present invention provides (polymeric) compounds and a process for preparation thereof. Intended use is in field of electrochemistry. Anion-conducting properties of disclosed compounds making this material suitable for preparing anion-conducting membranes. It is object of present invention to provide an easy-to-prepare material with proper anion-conducting properties and controlled swelling. Inexpensive precursors shall be used for synthesis. This problem has been solved by providing compounds characterized by at least one unit of the formula (I) with X being a structure element comprising at least one nitrogen atom with a positive charge bonded to C and C and bonded via two bonds to one or two hydrocarbon radical(s) comprising 1 to 12 carbon atoms and Z being a structure element comprising a carbon atom being bonded to C and C and at least one aromatic 6-ring directly bonded to one of the oxygen atoms, wherein said aromatic 6-ring is substituted in position 3 and 5 with the same or different alkyl group having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms
