The fourth volume of the electrochemistry series in Topics in Current Chemistry combines three contributions from the field of organic electrochemistry. They demonstrate the broad scope of this research area which in itself is only a small part of electrochemical science. One contribution belongs to the technically very important field of material science. It Covers the exciting developments in the area of conducting polymers. It is reviewed from the Standpoint of an electrochcmist. Thus, besides giving an overview of the promising future applications, the formation of the polymers by
electropolymerization, the charging/discharging properties, and the structures of conducting polymers arc treated in detail.
