Comparing and Contrasting the Effects of Iodine Doping on Different Types of Polyacetylene Films

Abstract: A comparison between Shirakawa polyacetylene or S-(CH) x , Naarmann polyacetylene or N-(CH) x , and Tsukamoto polyacetylene or ν-(CH) x during iodine vapor phase doping has been made. Thin films of each type of polyacetylene were polymerized directly onto quartz crystal substrates. The quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) is used to measure the mass change during doping (oxidation) of polyacetylene with iodine in the vapor phase. For the same mass of dopant, the highest conductivity is observed for ν-(CH) x . Th… Show more

“…A limited conductivity of the patterned, iodine‐doped polyCOT most likely arises from exposure to an oxygen‐containing atmosphere prior to and during EFM imaging, and is supported by the presence of 11.5 % oxygen (O 1s) in the XPS survey spectrum of an iodine‐doped, bulk polyCOT sample (see Supporting Information). In addition, the conductivity of polyCOT depends upon polymer chain length (molecular weight)40 and the degree of iodine doping,41, 42 that is, properties that are difficult to characterize on the nanometer length scale. The important feature of our approach is that EFM measurements can distinguish between the electronic properties of two adjacent, but chemically different polymeric nanostructures with high resolution.…”

“…Iodine complexes of polymers are important for many reasons 1. The doping of polyacetylene films by iodine has been widely studied,2–5 and yields good electrical conductors. Nylon 6–iodine1, 6 complexes and poly(vinylpyridine)–iodine complexes can be used as electrode materials in lithium–iodide batteries.…”

“…The QCM previously has been used to study the in situ mass uptake of the dopant during chemical vapor phase doping of polymers such as polyacetylene. 2 The study involved simultaneous measurements of dopant mass uptake and resistance change during vapor-phase iodine doping of several types of polyacetylene. The diffusion coefficients for each polymer were determined from the QCM in a manner analogous to that utilized in the present study.…”
