Abstract: New electrically conductive polymer compositions comprisei) an electrically conductive polymer a) of one or more oxidatively polymerizable aromatic compounds andii) a polymer d) having ammonium, phosphonium or sulfonium groups in the polymer chain(s).The polymer compositions comprising polymers a) and d) are prepared by oxidative polymerization of one or more aromatic compounds in the presence of a polymer b) having ammonium, phosphonium or sulfonium groups in the polymer chain(s) and containing a polydentate anionic complex which has a redox potential sufficient for enabling oxidative polymerization of the aromatic compounds. Said polymer b) which has a non-metallic anionic complex such as S.sub.2 O.sub.8.sup.2- is also novel.
