Gentle heating of crystalline 2,5‐dibromo‐3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene affords a highly conducting, bromine‐doped poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT). The conductivity of the polymer can be further increased by doping with iodine. By using this approach, thin films of PEDOT with a conductivity as high as 20 S cm −1 can be easily fabricated on insulating plastic surfaces (see picture).
