The invention relates to a process for the production of doped heterocyclic polymers, wherein sulphur-free heteroaromatic compounds are reacted with arsenic pentafluoride, optionally in the gas phase or in an inert organic solvent, at temperatures of from -20 DEG C. to +80 DEG C. (or the boiling point of the solvent), and to the doped heterocyclic polymers obtained according to this process, as well as to doped products of polymers according to the following formula (I) wherein X=O or S, and n an integer of >10, and a process for the production thereof.
