Lattice dynamics and vibrational spectra of pristine and doped polypyrrole: Effective conjugation coordinate

Abstract

A detailed vibrational analysis of the infrared and Raman spectra of doped and pristine polypyrrole is presented. The theory of the effective conjugation coordinate is applied and fully justifies the observed spectra. The information on the structure and properties of this material derived from the proposed analysis are presented and discussed.
