Abstract

The Wittig-Horner reaction has been employed for the synthesis of poly(p-phenylene vinylene) polymers in which p-dimethylaminovinylene pendent groups are attached to 10%, 25% and 50%, respectively, of the phenylenes of the polymer spine. These polymers are rapidly doped by iodine to give materials having conductivities of 10-6, 10-5 and 10-4 S cm-1, respectively. The effect of structure on the band gap in these polymers is discussed. © 1986.
