  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-009137",
  "term": "poly(ethene-1,2-diyl)",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A polymer derived from the polymerization of acetylene, with a repeating unit of -CH=CH-. This structure results in a conjugated polymer backbone, which can exhibit electrical conductivity when doped. It is also known as polyacetylene, and its properties depend heavily on the stereochemistry of the double bonds.",
