Oligothiophenes with well defined structures have recently received a great deal of attentions not only as a model eompoimds for conducting polymers, but also as anew class of functional r-electron systems [153], Since the initial discovery of organic compounds showing metallic conductivity, for which 2000 Nobel prize in chemistry was awarded [154-156], oligo- and polythiophenes have attracted much attention as advanced molecules with practical use in electronic devices [157-160] and their potential application in field-effect transistors [161], photovoltaic devices [162] and organic electroluminescent devices [163],...
