Synthesis and study of a polymer containing di- and triazenyl-p-phenylene groups

A polymer containing di- and triazenyl-p-phenylene groups in the main chain was synthesized for the first time. Doping of newly synthesized poly(triazene-1,3-diyl-p-phenylenes) and poly(triazene-1,3-diyl-pdiphenylenes) with perchloric acid is studied. The introduction of azophenylene groups in the chain of a polymer containing triazenylphenylene groups has almost no effect on electrical conductivity. The electrical conductivity of these polymers increases from 10^?9 to 0.8 S/m with increasing doping degree. The replacement of phenylene by diphenylene groups slightly reduces the electrical conductivity of the polymer doped with perchloric acid, while in the case of iodine doping, by contrast, the electrical conductivity slightly increases.
