Gels of polymer 1 were formed in several solvents. Interestingly, gels of polymer 1 exhibited responsiveness toward N2H4, F and CN . Absorption and ESR spectroscopic studies revealed that such responsiveness is owing to the reduction of NDI moieties into the respective NDI＇-. In addition, thin films of polymer 1 were easily prepared with spin-coating technique and the electrical conductivity of thin films reached 52.4 S/m after exposure to NeH4 vapor.展开更多
