Abstract

A brief overview is presented of the electrical and linear optical properties of conjugated polymers in their electrically insulating forms. Topics discussed include electronic structure and optical spectroscopy, thermochromism, and device applications, particularly electroluminescence. Structure-property relationships are stressed. Particular emphasis is placed on the properties of polydiacetylenes as they are available as macroscopic single crystals and, hence, are the best defined class of conjugated polymers.
