Polyacetylene (IUPAC name: polyethyne) is an organic polymer with the repeating unit (C2H2)n. It is an important polymer, as the discovery of polyacetylene and its high conductivity upon doping helped to launch the field of organic conductive polymers. The high electrical conductivity discovered by Hideki Shirakawa, Alan Heeger, and Alan MacDiarmi...
