Popis: The physical properties of polyacetylene films are strongly modified by doping and in particular its optical absorption drastically increases in the middle infra-red range. The aim of this report is to study the behaviour of infra-red transmission between 4000 and 400 cm−1 when doping (CH)x with iodine. It is shown that the excess absorption due to the dopant is a reversible phenomena, however the cis to trans isomerization induced by doping remains. Elsewhere we have studied the evolution of the transmission at a very high doping level, up to twenty per cent of dopant, and showed that even in the metallic range ( ⋍ six per cent of dopant ) some short cis sequences exist. Consequently this is evidence that doping is a less efficient isomerization process than thermal treatment.
