A series of N-carbazolyl-substituted silane homo- and copolymers has b
een prepared by Wurtz coupling. Doping with iodine on these copolymer
films increases the electrical conductivity to the range 10(-6)-10(-3)
S cm(-1). The conductivity depends strongly on the composition of the
copolymer; it reaches the maximum value for N-carbazolyl-substituted
silane homopolymer. The effects of carbazolyl group on conductivity an
d charge transport mechanisms in the polymer are discussed.
