Isolated “molecular wires” are produced in the channels of zeolites by polymerizing pyrrole with embedded Fe III or Cu II ions, according to spectroscopic, stoichiometric, and kinetic investigations. The doped zeolites (zeolite Y and mordenite) display no “bulk” conductivity, but they should be useful for studying the properties of isolated polypyrrole chains.
