Abstract
We synthesized xanthene‐based oligothiophene‐layered polymers containing bithiophenes, terthiophenes, quaterthiophenes and quinquethiophenes by the Suzuki‐Miyaura coupling reaction. The polymers were characterized by various spectroscopic and electrochemical methods. They were well soluble in common organic solvents and thermally stable. Effective π‐π interactions among the layered oligothiophene units in the polymer backbone were not observed in the ground state as well as in the excited state. A possible application of the polymers in opto‐electronic devices such as hole transporting materials is expected.
