The polymerization of acetylene is most commonly associated with polyacetylene, which was found to be conductive when treated with oxidizing agents such as Br2 or I2 in the mid?to?late 1970s. In fact, under the right conditions, oxidized polyacetylenes can exhibit conductivities into the metallic regime, thus providing the first example of an organic polymer exhibiting metallic conductivity. As a consequence, the 2000 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to Hideki Shirakawa, Alan MacDiarmid, and Alan Heeger for this pioneering research, the award citation reading ?for the discovery and development of electrically conductive polymers.? Because of this, most incorrectly view polyacetylene, as well as conducting polymers in general, to originate in the 1970s. In this work, the author examines the polymerization of acetylene from early thermal polymerization studies to the ultimate production of the fully conjugated polyacetylene. Although true polyacetylene was not successfully produced until the 1950s by Giulio Natta, the polymerization of acetylene dates back to 1866 with the work of Marcellin Berthelot. These initial efforts were continued by a range of scientists to produce a polymeric material collectively given the name cuprene in 1900 by Paul Sabatier. Between the initial cuprene studies and the production of true polyacetylene, two related materials were also studied, usually referred to as polyenes and polyvinylenes. Although both of these materials could be thought of as forms of polyacetylene, neither was actually generated from the direct polymerization of acetylene. Readers will gain insight into the fact that polyacetylene and conducting organic polymers have a much longer history than commonly believed and involved the work of a significant number of Nobel Laureates. 410 0$aHistory of Chemistry,$x2212-991X 606 $aChemistry?History 606 $aOptical materials 606 $aElectronic materials 606 $aPolymers   606 $aOrganic chemistry 606 $aEngineering?Materials 606 $aHistory of Chemistry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C34000 606 $aOptical and Electronic Materials$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z12000 606 $aPolymer Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C22008 606 $aOrganic Chemistry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C19007 606 $aMaterials Engineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T28000 615 0$aChemistry?History. 615 0$aOptical materials. 615 0$aElectronic materials. 615 0$aPolymers  . 615 0$aOrganic chemistry. 615 0$aEngineering?Materials. 615 14$aHistory of Chemistry. 615 24$aOptical and Electronic Materials. 615 24$aPolymer Sciences. 615 24$aOrganic Chemistry. 615 24$aMaterials Engineering. 676 $a547.709 700 $aRasmussen$b Seth C$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0768816 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298581903321 996 $aAcetylene and Its Polymers$91566706 997 $aUNINA
