Abstract

Polymerization of (HC≡ CSiMe 2) 2 X with WCl 6 or MoCl 5 catalyst afforded polymers soluble in common organic solvents. The conductivity of the polymer fell in the range of insulators but was improved to 10− 2 S· cm− 1 upon doping with (Et 2 N) 3 S+ SiF 2 Me 3−(or n-Bu 4 N+ F−) and I 2 (or SO 3).
