Abstract
Authors designed the monomers having hetero-aromatic rings in their structu res as optical materials of high refractive index. Among various hetero-aro matics, we noticed thiophene has a large atomic refraction. We synthesized novel mono- and bifunctional thiophene methacrylate derivatives. Their homo polymers had high refractive indices indeed and are promising for optical m aterials.
