Abstract
N,N'-Bis(N-methyl-4-pyrdinium) 1,4,5,8-naphthalenetetracarboxylic diim ide anion radicals and poly(vinyl alcohol) are used to cast air-stable , flexible films from water. Characterization by visible, NIR, IR and ESR spectroscopies shows that the anion radicals are present as pi-sta cks oriented preferentially in the film plane. This leads to in-plane conductivities up to 10(3) higher than those across the film.
