Cyclopolymerization of dipropargyl derivatives which leads to new conjugated polymers was examined by various transition‐metal catalyst systems. The highly colored polymers with average molecular weights of 10000–47000 were soluble in common organic solvents. Poly(dipropargyl derivatives) which possess polyene structures having cyclic recurring units in the polymer backbone, have been investigated for their physical properties such as solubility, the nature of doping process, electrical conductivity, and oxidation stability.
