A new soluble and conducting aromatic polymer: poly[(1,2-(methylenedioxy)benzene]. Evidence for partial crystallinity
Abstract
Soluble and conducting poly[1,2-(methylenedioxy)benzene](PMDB) films are prepared by the electrochemical polymerization of the corresponding monomer; IR and NMR studies show a para chain coupling for PMDB and partial crystallinity is found for the undoped polymer, using scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction.
