Abstract:
An electrically conductive, electroactive functionalized conjugated polymer of formula (I') ##STR20##whereinn is an integer or zero,each R, which may be identical or different from one monomer unit to one another, is selected from the group consisting of H and functional groups capable of covalently bonding with a first biological molecule or antiligand with the proviso that (a) at least one said R of formula (I') represents said functional group or (b) if each Y.sub.p R in formula (I') is identical, they are different from CH.sub.2 --COOH,each Y.sub.p, which may be identical or different from one monomer unit to one another, is a coupling arm wherein p is zero or an integer,wherein said polymer has a conductivity and an electroactivity which are substantially of the same order as a conductivity and an electroactivity of a corresponding polymer of formula (I'), in which each said R represents H.
