“…Fundamental systems are polyarylenes, poly(arylenevinylene)s, and poly(aryleneethynylene)s. Besides polymers, oligomers received attention as model systems, as optical brigtheners [3] electronic [4] or scintillating [5] materials. The 1,4-phenylene unit is the prototype for the arylene segment, often substituted with side chains to improve solubility, electrical, and optical properties.…”
