Polymers with metallo backbones and pendant alkoxy groups (see Figure) are intercalated into a conducting polymer system of polyaniline–camphor sulfonic acid (PANI–CSA). The use of properly designed self‐assembled, layered metallic backbones, which are compatible with anions and Lewis bases of the doped PANI, is shown to improve not only the electrical conductivity but also the solubility of PANI–CSA.
