The photoinitiated elimination of methoxy groups of poly( p ‐phenylene‐1‐methoxyethylene) and the photochemical doping of the resulting poly(phenylenevinylene) (PPV) were investigated. Upon irradiation and then heat treatment at 150°C, poly( p ‐phenylene‐1‐methoxyethylene) containing triphenylsulfonium hexafluoroantimonate was converted to PPV. The resulting PPV was observed to be conductive, and its conductivity was 10 −2 –10 −3 S/cm. By a lithographic procedure, we produced a conducting pattern doped photochemically in a nonconjugated poly( p ‐phenylene‐1‐methoxyethylene) matrix.
