Abstract

When thin films of polyaniline (emeraldine base, EB) are deposited on glass substrates from aqueous solutions of polymerizing aniline (“in-situ” EB-I film), they exhibit a Vis/UV spectrum in which the exciton peak has an absorption maximum at ∼600 nm; exposure to NMP vapor results in a shift of this peak to ∼650 nm (EB-II film). Doping of EBI film by aq. HCl gives the characteristic Vis/UV spectrum of “tight coil” doped polyaniline with a localized polaron peak at ∼820 nm. Treatment of EB-II film with HCl in a similar manner gives the characteristic spectrum of “expanded coil” doped polyaniline in which the ∼820 nm peak has disappeared and is replaced by a free carrier tail. It is concluded that EB-I and EB-II exist in “tight coil” and “expanded coil” molecular conformations respectively which do not change on doping in aqueous HCl.
