Synthesis of the water-soluble, electrically conducting poly(5-aminonaphthalene-2-sulfonic acid)
Poly(5-aminonaphthalene-2-sulfonic acid) 2 can be prepared by oxidative polymerisation of 5- or 8-aminonapthalene-2-sulfonic acid (1a, 1b) with Na2S2O8 or KIO4. This polymer is water soluble, electrically conducting and fluorescent.
