Conducting polymers: Part IV Electrical conductivity of poly (4,4′- N, N-diiminosulphoxide diaminophenol ether)

Poly(4,4'-N,N-diiminosulphoxide diaminophenyl ether) was prepared by Michael addition of 4,4'-disulphinyl diphenyl ether with 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl ether at 150°C. The thermal and electrical behaviours of the polymer have been studied. The polymer is found to have increased conductivity possibly due to the participation of lone pair of electrons on nitrogen and sulphur atoms with σ bond of the macrochain
