US 6,632,380 B1 · Chemical compounds made of intrinsically conductive polymers and metals

Abstract

Compounds of intrinsically conductive polymers, in particular polyanilines, with metals, their preparation and uses of these compounds are described.

Dependent claims

A compound corresponding to formula (I)

[(DU)a−x(Mea+)x(DUoxH+)y](a·x+y)A− (I)
wherein
DU = a dimer unit of an intrinsically conductive polyaniline polymer, DUox = an oxidized form of the dimer unit, Mea+ = a metal ion of valency a, selected from the group consisting of iron, copper, zinc, and magnesium, a = the valency of the metal ion, x = an integer from 1 to 10,000, y = an integer from 0 to 10,000, A− = an anion.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
