• In this paper a new mechanism is introduced for chemical redox doping of conjugated polymers. The redox reaction involves a protonic acid–base reaction in situ generating a functionalized counter-ion, yielding solubility of the doped polymer. The mechanism is experimentally verified using both poly( p-phenylene vinylene)s (PPVs) and polythiophenes (PTs) as model systems. No precipitation of dissolved doped polymer is observed, while evaporation of the solvent yields conductivities of 10 −3 S cm −1.
