Abstract Polymers based upon hydroquinone–quinone redox system were prepared by the addition of hydroquinone and methylhydroquinone to parachloromethylstyrene. Others were obtained by vinylation of halogenated compounds and polymerization of monomers containing the redox system. In the last case, composition and structure of macromolecules are known with increased certainty and so, they are readily characterized. For the first time, preparation and polymerization of monomers are realized with good yields. By using these macromolecules to remove oxygen from water, it was established that redoxite properties of Electron Transfer Polymers (ETP) have been closely related to the number of redox functions on the polymer matrix. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
