A process for the preparation of stable electrically conductive polymers, having conductivities greater than 10.sup.-2 S/cm, wherein a polyacetylene is reacted with from 1 to 100, preferably from 10 to 33, % by weight of tosylmethyl isocyanide and from 0.1 to 70, preferably from 5 to 35, % by weight of an alkali metal or its amide, or of a Lewis acid. The polymers obtained can be used in electrical engineering for the production of solar cells, for the conversion and fixing of radiation and for the production of electrical and magnetic switches and electrical storage devices, and can also be used for the antistatic treatment of plastics. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION We claim: 1.
A process for the preparation of a stable electrically conductive polymer from a polyacetylene, the polymer having an electrical conductivity greater than 10.
sup.
-2 S/cm, which process consists essentially of treating the polyacetylene with from 1 to 100% by weight of tosylmethyl isocyanide and from 0.
1 to 70% by weight of a dopant selected from the group consisting of an alkali metal, an alkali metal amide or a Lewis acid, the percentages being based on the polyacetylene.
2.
A process as defined in claim 1, wherein the reaction is carried out using from 10 to 30% by weight of tosylmethyl isocyanide and from 5 to 35% by weight of an alkali metal or of its amide, or of a Lewis acid.
3.
A process as defined in claim 1, wherein the reaction is first carried out with tosylmethyl isocyanide to give a polymer containing structural units of the formula (I): ##STR4## where n is 5-200, and this product is then reacted with an alkali metal or its amide, or with a Lewis acid.
4.
A process as defined in claim 1, wherein a Lewis acid is used as the dopant and wherein the Lewis acid is a halogen derivative of an element of group III, IV, V, VI, VII or VIII of the periodic table of elements.
Description:
The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of stable electrically conductive polymers from polyacetylenes, the polymers having electrical conductivities greater than 10.
sup.
-2 S/cm.
German Laid-Open Applications DOS Nos.
3,029,206, 3,027,529 and 3,026,328 have proposed converting polyacetylenes into electrically conductive polymers by the addition of a complexing agent, for example a heavy metal-phosphorus complex, or of black phosphorus and an alkali metal or its amide, or of black phosphorus and a strong Lewis acid.
German Laid-Open Application DOS 3,104,408 also discloses that electrically conductive polymers may be obtained by adding a nitroso derivative and thereafter a strong Lewis acid with a pK.
sub.
a of from -10 to +4 or a strong base to an organic polymer from the polyacetylene series, in the absence of moisture and of oxygen
