Abstract: There are provided electrically conducting polymer compositions comprising an electrically conductive polymer or copolymer and an organic solvent wettable fluorinated acid polymer. Electrically conductive polymer materials are derived from thiophene, pyrrole, aniline and polycyclic heteroaromatic precursor monomers. Non-conductive polymers derived from alkenyl, alkynyl, arylene, and heteroarylene precursor monomers. The organic-solvent wettable fluorinated acid polymer is fluorinated or highly fluorinated and may be colloid-forming. Acidic groups include carboxylic acid groups, sulfonic acid groups, sulfonimide groups, phosphoric acid groups, phosphonic acid groups, and combinations thereof. The compositions can be used in organic electronic devices.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to electrically conductive polymer compositions, comprising at least one electrically conductive copolymer; and at least one fluorinated acid polymer, their use in organic electronic devices, and methods for preparation.

Abstract: A fluorinated sulfonamide small molecule having the general structure wherein m, n and p are 0 to 3, with the proviso that m+n+p is equal to 1 to 4; A1 is an aromatic heterocyclic group, with the proviso that carbon atoms of the heterocyclic ring are fully substituted by fluorinated sulfonamide groups; and R1, R2, and R3 are linear or branched perfluoroalkylene groups, optionally containing oxygen, chlorine, bromine, or iodine atoms. Polymers and small molecules useful in making polymer electrode membranes, membrane electrode assemblies, and electrochemical cells, such as fuel cells, are also described.

Abstract: A compound having the general structure (I), wherein A1? is a monovalent, divalent, or trivalent aromatic heterocyclic group comprising heterocyclic rings; R1?, R2?, and R3? are divalent fluorinated groups; m, n, and p are 0 to 3, with the proviso that m+n+p is equal to 1, 2, or 3 so that the carbon atoms of the heterocyclic rings are fully substituted by acidic fluorinated sulfonyl-containing groups; q is 0 or 1; Y1? is —OH, —NH—SO?2#191-R4? wherein R4? is a monovalent fluorinated group, —NH—, —NH—SO?2#191-R5?-SO?2#191-NH—, or —NH—SO?2#191-R6?-A2?-R7?-SO?2#191-NH—, wherein A2? is a divalent heterocyclic group and R5?, R6?, and R7? are divalent fluorinated groups; and Y2? and Y3? are —OH or —NH—SO?2#191-R4?; with the proviso that when m and n are each equal to 1, p is 0 to 1, and q is 0, Y1? is selected from the group consisting of —NH—, —NH—SO?2#191-R5?-SO?2#191-NH—, and —NH—SO?2#191-R6?-A2?-R7?-SO?2#191-NH—. By compound is meant either a small molecule or a repeat unit of a polymer.
