    Abstract: Polymeric materials contg. structural units of formula (I) are new. In formula, n = 1-1000. (I) are prepd. by Diels-Alder condensn. of tetramethylene cyclooctane (II) with benzoquinone (III) to form a condensate which is then treated with FeCl3 to convert it back into a benzoquinone form, and opt. repeating the process with addn. of (II) or (III). USE/ADVANTAGE - The (I) are converted into electrically conductive materials by addn. with exclusion of moisture of an effective amt. of a cpd. chosen from AsF5, SbF5, an aromatic sulphonic acid- or nitro-cpd., an anhydrous fluorocarboxylic acid or an anhydrous mineral acid and/or iodine. The electrically conductive polycondensates are useful antistatic additives for polymers, for prodn. of solar cells, for conversion and fixing of radiation, for prodn. of electric and magnetic switches, and for prodn. of electrodes. Addn. of a strong Lewis acid to the polycondensate gives p-conductors.
