Abstract
The successful synthesis of polyacetylene films by Itô et al. (1974) and the subsequent discovery by Chiang et al. (1977) that adding dopants to the polymer can lead to an enormous increase of electrical conductivity have stimulated a great deal of interest both among chemists and physicists by opening a large new field of research. This is well documented by recent conference proceedings (Epstein and Conwell, 1981/82; Comès et al., 1983) and review papers (Baeriswyl et al., 1982; Etemad et al., 1982). Examples of conducting polymers are shown in Figure 1. The common feature of these compounds is their planar geometry which leads to ‘conjugation’, i.e. derealization of π orbitals along the chain, as illustrated by the sequences of single and double bonds. Notice that only in trans-polyacetylene the C—C and C=C bonds can be interchanged without changing their respective environment. Trans-(CR) x is therefore twofold degenerate with respect to the bond alternation sequence while the other compounds are not.
