“…These spectroscopic features suggest the existence of molecular interaction under equilibrium, probably due to a charge transfer reaction between the polyacetylene derivative and the iodine dopant. The results of the present experiment are consistent with the results of Masuda and Higashimura, who evaluated the formation of the charge transfer-type complex of polyphenylacetylene with low molecular weight electron acceptors, such as dichlorodicyanoquinone (DDQ), 7,7',8,, bromine, and antimony pentachloride [8].…”
