The polymer [104584-99-8] which is synthesized by ring opening olefin-metathesis polymn. of 3,4-diisopropylidenecyclobutene, is sol., transparent, and forms conductive materials (up to 200 $Ømega$-1cm-1) when doped with iodine. The characterization of the material by CP-MAS 13C NMR, ESR, and UV-vis spectroscopy is reported. The electronic structure and the possible mechanisms of conduction are discussed. [on SciFinder(R)]
