Abstract
Electrical conductivity measurements, mass spectra of desorbing species, and ESCA surface analysis are reported for AsF5‐doped polyacetylene heated between 50 and 130 °C in vacuum. All measurements indicate first‐order decomposition kinetics with activation energies between 13 and 20 kcal mole−1. Decomposition leads to the desorption of AsF3 and F2. Metallic arsenic remains in the polyacetylene as a decomposition by‐product.Keywords
