Abstract

Polyazines, -[N=CH-CH=N]x-, are environmentally stable conjugated polymers that can be doped with iodine into an electrically conductive state. These polymers are prepared by the condensation of glyoxal and glyoxal di-hydrazone with acid catalysis. IR spectra of the undoped polymers, independent of the synthetic conditions, exhibit a broad band centered around 3240 cm−1 indicative of the presence of OH groups in the polymer. Solid state NMR spectra show that the OH groups are covalently bound to the polymer chain so that the polymer chain has a number of defect and/or cross-linking sites present. The polymer can be doped with iodine into a poorly conducting state. Iodine doping introduces one new vibrational band into the IR spectra at 1490 cm−1, associated with a bipolaronic charge carrier.
