Most of the reported conjugated polymers with nonlinear optical or electrical activities are carbon-carbon conjugated systems, such as the extensively studied polyenes (e.g., polyacetylenes [15], polydiacetylenes [16,17], poly-/ -phenylenes) and heteroaromatic polymers (e.g., polypyrroles, polythiophenes, polycarbazoles, polyanilines) [18]. The synthetic methods, applications, and the structure-property relationships of these polymers have also been substantially investigated [19-21].
