The polymers, polyazomethine (A), (B) and (D) were prepared by the condensation of glyoxal with diaminomaleonitrile, m-phenylenediamine-4-sulfonic acid and 2,4-diamino-phenol in DMF or DMSO respectively. The polymers. polyazomethine (C) and (E) were prepared by the condensation of terephthaldialdehyde with o-nitro -p- phenylenediamine and p-toluylenediamine in DMF respectively. IR absorption spectroscopy was used to elucidate the structure of polymers. The characteristic peak of polyazomethine. carbon-nitrogen double bond was found to absorb at 1620cm^-1. It was insoluble in common organic solvents. Electrical conductivities of polyazomethines were measured by a 4-point probe technique. Polyazomethines without functional group, doped with Br₂ and I₂ showed higher electrical conductivity than polyazomethines with functional group, doped with Br₂ and I₂.

Polyazomethine (PAM) (A), (B), (D)는 glyoxal과 diaminomaleonitrile, m-phenylene diamine-4- sulfonic acid 그리고 2,4-diaminophenol을 용매로 N,N''-dimethylformamide (DMF)와 dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) 하에서 중축합하고, PAM (C), (E)는 terephthaldialdehyde와 o-nitro-p-phenylenediamine, p-toluylenediamine을 용매로 DMF하에서 중축합하여 얻었다. PAM (A)-(E)의 IR spectra 분석결과 1620cm^-1 부근에서 azomethine치 특성 peak인 -C=N-기 즉 schiff base 구조를 확인하였다. 이 중합물들은 인반적인 유기용매에 불용이고, 전기전도도는 4-point probe technique로 측정하였으며 Br₂와 I₂로 doping하였을 때 전기전도도는 측쇄에 극성기가 붙은 PAM이 극성기가 붙지 않은 PAM보다는 전기전도도가 약간 낮은 것으로 나타났다.
