The chemical structures and electronic structures at conjugated polyelectrolyte/Au interfaces demonstrate that conjugated polyelectrolytes with identical backbones but different pendant charges and charge‐compensating ions exhibit different electronic properties. This finding shows that counterions and backbone charges enable control of the electronic and chemical nature of critical device interfaces.
