Popis: Ultraviolet photoelectron spectra were measured for two classes of π-conjugated systems, poly(anthraquinone)s [poly(2-methylanthraquinone-1,4-diyl) [P(2Me-1,4-AQ)], poly(anthraquinone-1,5-diyl) [P(1,5-AQ)]], and poly(1,10-phenanthroline-3,8-diyl) (PPhen). Upon K-doping of PPhen, two new states, which could be assigned to bipolaron bands, appear in the originally empty energy gap. In the case of K-doped P(2Me-1,4-AQ), a new state appeared in the energy gap region. On the other hand, P(1,5-AQ) showed poor reactivity to the dopant in comparison with P(2Me-1,4-AQ). The electronic structures of the neutral and K-doped states of these polymers were analyzed using semiempirical MO calculations. The electronic structure of PPhen-metal complex was also examined.
