In situ measurements of the relativeconductivity of polythiophenes, polyaniline, and polypyrroles as a function of electrochemical potential reveal that they have finite potential dependent windows of high conductivity. Further, the high conductivity is found where charge is injected or withdrawn from the polymer. The polymers studied, polyaniline and I—VI, are prepared by anodic polymerization onto microelectrode arrays of the appropriate monomer: thiophene (I), 3-methylthiophene (II), 3-phenylthiophene (III), 1-methyl-1'-(3-(thiophene-3-yl) propyl)-4, 4'-bipyridinium (IV), 3, 4-dimethylpyrrole (V), andZV-methylpyrrole (VI). The use of a liquid S02/electrolyte medium as the electrochemical solvent makes it possible to define the window of high conductivity, because it allows the polymers to be reversibly oxidized to a greater extent than has previously been achieved. The conductivitiesof I—IV increase by at least 106-109 when they are oxidized from neutral to the potential of maximum conductivity and then decrease by IO'-4 when they are further oxidizedto the greatest extent possible without irreversible degradation in liquid S02/electrolyte. Cyclic voltammetry indicates that IV is oxidized by~ 0.3 electron per thiophene
