Abstract

The synthesis of a new type of, and doping mechanism in, “self exchange” or “self‐doping” conducting polymers based on 3‐(ω‐carboxyalkyl)thiophenes (with n = 4‐14) is examined (see figure). The properties of the polymers are different to that of those based on the corresponding sulphonic acids due to the lower acidity of the carboxylic acid function. (Figure Presented.)
