Polymerization of 1,6-heptadiyne on the surfaces of concentrated solutions of homogeneous Ziegler-Natta catalysts leads to insoluble, free-standing films with metallic luster. “Doping” of these films by treatment with acceptors results in conductivities up to 1 S/cm. The polymer has been characterized in terms of its molecular structure, its solid-state structure and physical properties, the nature of the doping process, and its thermal and oxidative stability. Poly( 1,6-heptadiyne) provides a number of contrasts to polyacetylene in its molecular and solid-state structure which yield some information about the requirements for conductive polymers. Electrically conductive polymers have been the subject of sporadic interest for at least the last 25 The discovery of a method of preparation of free-standing films of polyacetylene4 sparked a rebirth of interest in this conjugated polyene that had been previously studied in powder form.s The films were more amenable to study of physical properties and for many potential applications. A number of dopants were subsequently found to be effective for raising the conductivity into the metallic regime.6 At the inception of the present study, no other substituted polyenes had been formed as films in situ during polymerization. Our initial goal was to determine whether other conjugated polyenes could first be polymerized in situ to free-standing films and then doped to high electrical conductivity. If this goal could be reached, optimization of properties such as flexibility, ductility, thermal transitions, oxidative stability, etc. might be achieved by modification of substituents on the polyene chain. It was known,’ however, and subsequently confirmed by using the Shirakawa catalyst* that substituted acetylenes, e.g., methyl and ethyl derivatives, polymerize sluggishly in comparison to acetylene itself. Because cyclopolymerization was of such utility in the synthesis of substituted olefin derived polymer^,^ it was our belief that cyclopolymerization of diacetylenes might prove useful in the preparation of substituted polyacetylenes.
