Raman scattering experiments are reported for cis‐(CH) x and cis‐(CD) x doped with AsF 5 in a concentration range between 3 and 13%. The typical cis‐lines in the spectrum decreased with increasing doping concentration until they disappear completely at around 8%. Simultaneously the non‐resonant trans‐line at 1291 cm −1 is observed to increase and a special high‐frequency mode develops around 1590 cm −1 . From the experimental results it is shown that the generation of disorder and isomerization by doping is a general phenomenon. A strong increase of the scattering cross‐section observed for red laser light for the heavily doped material is correlated to a band gap closure.
