The processes of donor and acceptor doping of polyphenylacetylene (PPA) films electrochemically obtained on transparent electrodes have been studied. It has been shown that donor n-doping of the PPA by lithium leads to formation of free charge carriers in the conjugated polymer chain, which cause a doping-induced absorption in the long-wave region. Under acceptor p-doping of the PPA films by iodine, the doping-induced optical absorption is observed in the short-wave region. It results from the complexes of charge transfer between the PPA and iodine.

Key words: polyphenylacetylene, electrochemical preparation, optical spectra, donor and acceptor doping, absorption bands.
