Abstract
In situ FT-IR spectroscopy, and d.c. and a.c. electrical measurements were used to characterize an electronically conducting polymer prepare d from the electropolymerization of a bridged dithienyl monomer. Elect ronic absorption bands were observed during both n- and p-doping proce sses. The solid state data showed that the metal / polymer / metal dio des displayed no rectification although capacitance acid loss data sho wed a strong frequency dispersion characteristic of a Schottky diode.
