Abstract: Through absorption of bromine vapor, the electrical conductivity of Polyphenylacetylene (PPA) enhanced by 1012 times. After pressing the bromine doped powder sample into pellet, we found that the conductivity of the samples increased with time. UVVis spectra, IR, and XPS spectra indicated that strong conjugation effect exists between PPA and bromine, and Charge Transfer Complex (CTC) is formed in PPA after doping; bromine doping increases the conjugation of PPA and improves its conductivity; the pressure can promote the doping effect of bromine on PPA.

Key words: polyphenelacetylene, doping, conjugation, charge transfer complex, pressure , bromine, polyphenelacetylene, doping, conjugation, charge transfer complex, pressure
