Sc. Ng et Lg. Xu, Poly[4-(2-heteroaryl)benzenamines]: Novel electrically conducting alternating copolymers of aniline and chalcophenes, ADVAN MATER, 10(18), 1998, pp. 1525
Communication: Polyaniline (PAN)-an electrically conductive conjugated poly
mer-was always of major interest due to its unique properties. However, the
insolubility of PAN in common organic solvents hampered commercial exploit
ation. The synthesis of new copolymers of aniline and chalcophenes is repor
ted. The Figure shows a scanning electron micrograph of a poly[4-(2-furyl)b
enzenamine] film cast from tetrahydrofuran.
