Abstract
This paper reports a comparative study of different catalytic systems for the synthesis of novel polyacetylene films. That the morphology could be optimized by the use of a highly viscous complexing solvent together with thermal treatment [1,2] encouraged us to study the catalytic systems with the aid of ESR spectroscopy. The different samples were characterized with the aid of IR and ESR spectroscopic methods, conductivity measurements, and scanning electron microscopy before and after doping.Keywords
