The effect of ‘water and transition metal ion doping’ on the conductivity of poly(3-substituted thiophene-2,5-diyls)
Abstract
Poly(3-substituted Thiophene-2,5-diyls) incorporating co-ordinated transition metals have been shown to exhibit a dramatic increase in conductivity on ‘doping’ with water from 10–8 to greater than 10–1 S cm–1; however, only the polymer containing CuII exhibits electronic conduction and internal electrochemical redox waves.
