Films of the polymer semiconductor polyacetylene, (CH),, and powders of the polymer semiconductor poly-($-phenylene), (9-C6H4)%, when treated with FeCl, (dissolved in dry nitromethane), are converted into organic metals which exhibit high p-type conductivity due to the oxidation of the n-system of the polymers, with the concomitant complete reduction of FeS+ to Fez+, as evidenced by Mossbauer spectroscopy.
