ELECTRONIC CONDUCTOR POLYMERS DOPED BY HETEROPOLYANIONS, PROCESS FOR THEIR PREPARATION AND USE THEREOF IN CHEMICAL AND ELECTROCHEMICAL CATALYSIS

摘要

The invention relates to an electronically conductive polymer doped with the anions of a heteropoly acid of the formula: ## STR1 ## wherein n, y, y 'and z are such that 2 = n = 6, 6 = y = 18, 0 = y '= 12, 24 = z = 70 and 6 = y + y' = 18, X is an element such as P or Si, and M is Mo or W. These polymers can be prepared by chemical or electrochemical oxidation from a solution containing the heteropoly acid and the monomer capable of forming an electronically conductive polymer by oxidation, for example pyrrole, thiophene, aniline, paraphenylene diamine, acetylene, benzene and their substituted derivatives. The doped electronically conductive polymer obtained can reduce the protons of a solution as shown in curve 1 of the attached FIG.
