Synthesis of electrically conducting organic polymers: halogen derivatives of polyacetylene, (CH)x

TLDR
When silvery films of the semiconducting polymer, trans polyacetylene, (CH)x, are exposed to chlorine, bromine, or iodine vapour, uptake of halogen occurs, and the conductivity increases markedly (over seven orders of magnitude in the case of iodine) to give silvery or silvery-black films, some of which have a remarkably high conductivity at room temperature.
Abstract
When silvery films of the semiconducting polymer, trans‘polyacetylene’, (CH)x, are exposed to chlorine, bromine, or iodine vapour, uptake of halogen occurs, and the conductivity increases markedly (over seven orders of magnitude in the case of iodine) to give, depending on the extent of halogenation, silvery or silvery-black films, some of which have a remarkably high conductivity at room temperature.

RIR-MAPLE deposition of conjugated polymers for application to optoelectronic devices

TL;DR: In this article, a variation of RIR-MAPLE that uses emulsified targets of organic solvents and water such that the incident laser wavelength (Er:YAG at 2.9μm) is resonant with hydroxyl (O-H) bonds in the host matrix, which are absent from the guest material is presented.

Electronic Structure of Conductive Conjugated Systems and Their Physicochemical Properties

TL;DR: In this article, the electronic structure of conductive conjugated polymers in relation to their physicochemical properties is discussed, using the effective Hamiltonian of the Huckel level, not through competition of the improvement of the basis set.
