Abstract
The importance and merit of oligomers in the field of conducting polym ers is demonstrated for some special substituted oligothiophenes. Thes e oligomers can serve on one hand as model compounds for the correspon ding polythiophenes. Due to their well-defined chemical structure, i.e . defined chain and conjugation length; on the other hand, novel Prope rties of these compounds can be exploited. Synthesis and polymerizatio n of new annelated heterocycles as model compounds for low band gap-po lymers is described.
