Doping of poly(acetylene) to the metallic state using thionyl chloride

SOCl 2 has been found to be an effective oxidant for poly(acetylene), increasing the electrical conductivity by several orders of magnitude. The oxidized (CH) x sites are thought to be compensated with chloride ion liberated by reduction of SOCl 2. The use of poly(acetylene) as a current collector i...

Description
Summary:SOCl 2 has been found to be an effective oxidant for poly(acetylene), increasing the electrical conductivity by several orders of magnitude. The oxidized (CH) x sites are thought to be compensated with chloride ion liberated by reduction of SOCl 2. The use of poly(acetylene) as a current collector in lithium/oxyhalide cells is reported elsewhere [14].
