title: N-Type Conductive Polymer Having a Concept of Self-Dope: --Poly(P-methylpyridinium vinylene)--.
abstract: Novel self-doped n-type conducting polymer, poly(p-methylpyridinium vinylene), PMePyV were synthesized by using the quaternization of poly(p-pyridyl vinylene), PPyV and several regiochemical consequences in this polymer were proposed. The electrical, optical, and, electrochemical properties of self-doped n-type conductive polymer were observed. In addition, a possibility of a variety of functional applications of self-doped n-type conductive polymer was indicated.
