Abstract

Abstract The doping of deuterated polyacetylene ( cis and trans ) with AsF 5 was studied by neutron diffractometry. A method of optimize the crystallinity of the doped material is described. Evidence for the presence of two species in the doped polymer which are probably AsF 6 − and AsF 3 is presented. Model calculations based on a series of [CD x H 1‐x (AsF 5 ) y ] n samples support a “first‐stage” intercalation structure with a graphitic structure.
