Conducting Polymers: Halogen Doped Polyacetylene.

TLDR
In this article, the electrical conductivity of the halogen doped transpolyacetylene system, (CH)x, was studied in terms of a model of the doping process based on charge transfer.
Abstract
A study of the electrical conductivity of the halogen doped transpolyacetylene system, (CH)x, is reported. When films of trans‐ (CH)x are exposed to chlorine, bromine, or iodine vapor, uptake of halogen occurs; and the conductivity increases markedly, over eleven orders of magnitude in the case of iodine. The behavior of the halogenated polyacetylene is like that of a series of semiconductors with activation energies which vary with halogen content. The results are discussed in terms of a model of the doping process based on charge transfer.
